Email Efficiency and Effectiveness

Web Usability workshop logo.

Avoid being deleted, ignored or treated as spam

Worried that your marketing emails are being deleted, left unread or being caught by spam filters? Inbox 'flooding' has forced your customers to become more sophisticated and develop their own methods for identifying emails of interest. Understanding why your emails might not be getting through to your customers is critical for your business. Identifying ways of improving 'open, click-through and click-conversion rates' is essential for meeting your e-marketing targets.

To make email an efficient and cost-effective communication channel for your business, your email communications need to be:
  • Well-designed
  • Targeted to specific customer segments
  • Tailored to the end-user
  • Sent at the right time
  • Designed to pass through aggressive spam filters

Our workshops will demonstrate a socio-technical approach that will deliver timely and relevant emails to your customers – thereby encouraging increased click-through and click-conversion rates. The workshops also emphasise the importance of evaluation. You will learn how to use e-metrics to determine possible weaknesses in your current email distribution.
