This year the focus on email marketing has increased and this comes as no surprise with most office workers currently working remotely. People have become much more dependent on email with read and click rates surging as people have a bit more time to read emails and it’s become more difficult to reach contacts over the phone. In fact, 78% of marketers have seen an increase in email engagement over the last 12 months as a result.
Whilst this is significant as a headline figure, there is more that businesses need to do to truly understand the effectiveness of their email campaigns.
Companies mainly measure email marketing success using the information that their internal tools provide them with. The number of emails sent out, the number of campaigns that are set up, the proportion of the marketing database used, email opens, clicks, registrations, and a count of opportunities created as a direct result of a campaign.
But how do companies measure the adequacy of the email marketing content, the alignment of the content to the interests of the recipients, its relevance to their role and the organisation's industry, or the impact of other emails from other departments? All of these elements, and many more, will have a substantial impact on the success of any given email marketing campaign.
Introducing MX: Monitor
MX: Monitor have a long standing reputation for helping marketing departments in high technology companies in the use of hard data to measure department effectiveness. But one angle that is still missing is the evaluation of the experience of the recipients – the target audience.
That’s why MX: Monitor developed a solution to help companies access these critical parameters.
MX: Monitor ‘trackers’ align to the geographies, industries and departments that a campaign targets. By monitoring the way a campaign actually engages with recipients it can report on:
How well information flows from engagement points (webinar registrations, newsletter subscriptions, file imports) into marketing databases
The speed with which prospects are engaged
The frequency of communication with them
Whether the trackers get multiple emails on the same day (spam alerts)
How well emails engage with a prospect’s interest
How relevant the emails are to the prospect's role and their organisation's industry
The adequacy of the email content
