The Trend of Email Marketing in 2011 with other competitors


The curve chart above illustrates the fluctuations in five mainstream communicating tools in contemporary society. In addition, this chart is generated by the most authority agency in the world to show the trend from 2002 to 2011 about these five competitors. And as the analysis and author, I will dig the data deeply to exhibit you the essential of email marketing service.


First and foremost, as you can see in the chart, you will find there are two lines on the top of the chart, which are the email and the search engine. With the email and the search engine hovering at the very high rate, we can easily find that these communicating tools are always being treated as the vital element in today' marketing. The past was what I thought, and the future will also be my perspective.Furthermore, we can be demonstrated that the SNS networks have very extraordinary power, for none in using in 2004 and 95% using at present, which got the amazing speed rocketed to a very high rate and almost have the same influence with email and search engine.

In sum, we can summary the data and the trend above from the chart and come to one conclusion that expect the search engine if we can combine the SNS network and email marketing together, what can be predicted in the future? From my perspective, I believe the SNS network can be contained in the email to tell all the recipient the unread news and unsettled updates. In other side, not only give the recipients the information, but also proliferate the business marketing. However, if the SNS network cannot be done with the email marketing as the news carrier, all the imagination is null.

As a result, the email marketing is based on the whole society and no other tools can replaced its place. Once we loss the search engine, we can through the communication to get touch with other people, while if we loss the email, the only thing we can do is waiting, waiting for the god blessing.

Many proven business marketing get a new customer is much higher than the cost of maintaining old customers with the cost, and customers to the business benefits of not less than, or even higher than the benefits of new customers. So, we spend much true that point thought to be the guardian live in our old clients?

But many companies find that their mailing list becoming less and less active, according to background analysis tools will find a lot of users is no longer active, and even become “dead” users for this situation, companies that do? This article will share with you activate the “sleep” the user’s skills, we want to help.

Prior to the sharing of skills, businesses need to do is, through the mail platform tools to filter out those who are not active customer list, such as the recent no open, click the e-mail client. Only clearly aware of these inactive customers, companies go to these customers to take a targeted activation method.

Method 1: the use of certain drastic measures to wake inactive customers. Want to activate these inactive customers, then we need some incentives. For example, inactive users to send an activation email, through incentives to attract members of the focus points, the message is about “We miss a day of your return to our midst, including any purchase of two items, you can get 30 points reward. ”

By tempting incentives, not only can effectively wake inactive users, increase sales, but also can enhance the user’s brand loyalty.

Method Two: thanks to the customer to send the message. When using e-mail marketing, customer care should not be forgotten. For those inactive customers, we can send them mail, express them in their care and appreciation, while listening to voice of the customer, to understand the reasons for inactive customers. Here, the message must be prominent for the user “tailor-made”. The following is a Paypal case.

Paypal e-mail Subject: We miss you, [user name]! The theme is “We look forward to hear your voice!”

Method three: to continuously improve the aesthetics of the message template. Obtained through many years of experience in email marketing, beautiful simplicity of the message template more accessible to the customer’s loyalty. By testing different mail template, you can get the most customers preferred mail template to improve order conversion rate.

The above three methods is the most frequently used and most effective way. Filter out inactive users regularly, and promptly send the activation email to awaken them, the e-mail marketers must strive to do.
