Economics of Email

Email marketing lowers costs and increases profits!
Compared to traditional media, email is fast, personal, interactive and extremely cost effective. TeeMailer expands on these benefits through our easy-to-use solution that brings together all the critical elements required to create, deliver and track email marketing campaigns.

Reduce Marketing Costs
Whereas offline direct marketing solutions require a significant investment, email marketing provides cost-saving benefits, such as:

No printing, mailing or media expenses.
Allows for more frequent customer contact, which translates into higher revenues.  Average costs of 3 to 10 cents per email, versus $2 for direct mail and up to $3 for telemarketing.

Retain More Customers
The reduction of costs and timelines associated with email marketing allows businesses to communicate with customers more frequently.  Other pluses include:

  • Frequent permission-based email newsletters and other communications reduce customer attrition rates.
  • Regular email marketing to existing customers generates a 15 - 50% increase in total online business.
  • Engage your customers in a two-way dialogue to increase customer satisfaction and yield faster feedback.

Achieve Higher Response Rates
TeeMailer increases response rates due to its ability to target customers closely, and deliver engaging graphical and interactive content. Industry sources show similar benefits for email:

Email provides higher response rates than direct mail or online banner advertising.  Industry average response rates average 5 - 15% for email vs. 1 - 2 % for direct mail and .005 - 1% for banner advertising.

Harness the Growth of Email
Email is rapidly becoming the most popular way consumers and companies communicate and do business. Recent studies show email is on the rise. For example:

In a fall 2001 survey, 88 percent of respondents said they have clicked on an opt-in email during the past year and ultimately made a purchase because of that email.
