Keeping Constant Contact
As a Web Master, Online Business Person, and general all a round promoter of Yarmouth county and surrounding areas I know how important it is to keep in constant contact with you, our friends and supporters.
However, I also know what it is like to manage a growing email list without the use of email marketing software. I use to spend two to three hours sorting through email addresses, writing, and sending notice of our monthly Yarmouth County Newsletter. It took me several painstaking hours to make it all happen.
As you know if you have a growing contact list, if you send to a list of more than 50 email addresses at a time you will likely have a number of your emails blocked and not delivered by the ISP’s.
Nothing is more frustrating than taking all that time to manage a list and write a great email or newsletter and have it not be delivered.
Then of course there is the wondering… did anyone actually open it and read it? Did anyone use the links to visit our Site or the resources we mentioned? These and similar questions are all faced by anyone who sends an email, especially to a group of people.
Well, last weekend we sent out our Yarmouth County News, “An Irish Blessing” keeping with it was sent out on Saint Patrick’s Day.
It is the first time we sent Email with Email Software and boy we’re we surprised! We now know 89.3% of our email is delivered, 38.1% of our emails were opened and we have a click through rate of 37.4%!
I know at first those numbers seem low, until we compare them with industry standards. Recent delivery rates for the Services/Consulting Industry show that 89.3% of emails sent are delivered, 20.6% are opened, and the average click through rate is only 3.3%!
So, we know that we are doing very well compared to most others out there! However, it is based on one email! Yet, we expect our results will actually improve over time!
Why? You Ask; Well, the list we were working with was out dated. We had not mailed to those on that list since last fall! Now we know how much you missed receiving our Yarmouth County News!
So, we’re going to try to do better! We’re going to try to email our Yarmouth County News on a more regular basis, like every week!
Now that we don’t have to spend hours sorting email addresses into groups, mailing multiple emails, and not knowing if they are being read. We’re going to do a much better and easier job of managing our email contact list.
So, we know that by now many of you are wondering what email software we are using; especially those of you who are trying to deal with the same problems we have faced in the past. Well, let me tell you…
