ROI*
Email ROI has jumped 53% in a year, delivering £38
for every pound spent. Delivery rates, conversion
rates, open and click-through rates have all increased
77% of ROI comes from segmented, targeted, and
triggered campaigns

Predictions
Econsultancy asked this question to email marketers:
“What do you think the single biggest change to email
marketing will be, when looking ahead 5 years?”
Think of email as a ‘digital passport’
Without an email address, the ability to build
a profile of a customer or ‘supporter’ is
incredibly difficult
Charities
Non-profits spend least time on email optimisation,
email strategy and email reporting
Almost 8 in 10 spend under 2 hours on strategy and
over 9 in 10 spend less than 2 hours on optimisation
Campaigns risk underperforming

Tactics
Segment and target
• Segmented and targeted emails generate 58% of all revenue.
• Just 14% of revenue was generated by emails with the same message for all
recipients.
• 86% of revenue came from campaigns that used advanced tactics
• Automated emails, or emails triggered by customer behaviour, accounted for
£3 of every £10 in email marketing revenue, up from 19% in 2012.
TacticsSegment!
Just 3% of marketers do not segment at all.
A charity programme for email also needs to include automated
segmentation (e.g. ability to send more segments to small micro
groups etc)
Tactics
Send more email
• Just 19% of marketers send one or fewer
messages a month, compared to 26% last
year.
Tactics
Grow your list
Grow your list from online, permission based,
communities

of opt ins are encouraged by ‘brand trust’
TacticsMore than 50% of email opens
are using a smartphone*
Brands have so far been slow to
react and provide that seamless
multichannel experience.
