Improving Email Conversion Rate to Accelerate Online Marketing Results

An email marketing campaign allows you to have a direct contact with potential customers and helps you stay in touch with them through newsletters and promotional mailers. While customers who subscribe to your newsletter may be interested in your product, they may not necessarily purchase it. Your email conversion rate tells you how effective and successful your email marketing campaign is, and also estimates how profitable your email subscribers are for you.

While it is important to have as many contacts as possible for increased sales, it is essential to have a high rate of e–mail conversion to realize profits. A conversion occurs when an email contact decides to buy your product as a result of the newsletters or mailers you send him/her regularly. Your e–mail conversion rate is an important metric that helps you calculate the number of email contacts who have actually taken the desired action either by purchasing your product, placing an order or by sharing their contact details with you.

Manage Email Contacts Better

By analyzing your website conversions, you can identify and remove email addresses that are not of any use to you. When you validate your email contacts, you can estimate and the number of potential customers or sale generators in your list. By sending your product information and newsletters to valid email addresses, your campaign remains more focused, and you can make changes to it depending on the response you get from relevant recipients of your emails.

Improve Your Website

E–mail conversion analysis can help you determine if your website design is appealing or suffers from any technical/navigation issues. A lower email conversion rate can be the result of a variety of problems in your website, including a mismatch in what you say in your website and what is presented in your email. A re–look and improvement to your website can boost the conversion rate.

Detect Technical Snags

By analyzing low conversion rates or a sudden drop in the rate you may detect technical snags in the links, the landing pages or the payment options of your website. Common technical problems include:

• Broken links sent in your newsletter or page where the user needs to take the desired action
• Slow loading landing pages where the purchase or order form is filled
• Malfunctioning of or incompatible payment options provided to users

A higher email conversion rate shows that you have a good ROI for your campaign. But consistently low conversion rates indicate that you need to analyze your website, the order or purchase process on the website and also the links you append in the newsletters and mailers sent to your customers.
