MenuWhat are the biggest challenges facing ecommerce companies as it relates to email marketing?
I am an email copywriting and launching an email marketing agency and I am currently doing market research to make sure I can properly solve the problems they're having. If there are any other challenges they face outside of email marketing, I'd love to hear those as well.

There are a few common problems when it comes to email marketing:
-Spam (annoying customers)
-Not opening your email if your subject line is not interesting enough
-Oversaturation (receiving too many irrelevant emails)
The answer lies in tracking. Tracking how well your emails perform is one of the greatest benefits of an email marketing strategy. Tracking how well an email does is amazingly simple and ESPs provide the necessary tools for you to be able to do all of that. Depending on the ESP you use, you have a great deal of data and to track and analyse. The kinds of data you can track include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Email bounce rates
2. Who opened emails?
3. What links were clicked
4. Customers that unsubscribe

The biggest challenge is engaging the consumer. Ensure you're doing your psychographic and demographic research and send out personal emails to each individual group. Don't send generic mass emails!

What is a good/average conversion rate % for an e-commerce (marketplace model) for customers who add to cart through to purchase order.
There is quite a bit of information available online about eCommerce conversions rates. According to a ton of sources, average visitor-to-sale conversion rates vary from 1-3%. This does not mean the Furniture conversions will be the same. The bigger problem is that visitor-to-sale conversions are not a good data point to use to measure or tune your eCommerce business. All business have some unique friction factors that will affect your final conversion rate. It's very important to understand each of these factors and how to overcome them. The best way to measure and optimize is to take a conversion funnel approach. Once you have defined your funnel you can optimize each conversion rate to better the total effect. For example: Top of the funnel: - All web site visitors, 100,000 / month First conversion: View a product page, 50% of all visitors Second Conversion: Add to Cart, 10% of people who view products Final Conversion: Complete Checkout, 80% of people who put items in a cart In this example we see that only 10% of people who actually view products put them in to a cart, but 80% of those people purchase. If you can figure out why visitors are not adding items to their cart and fix the issue to increase the conversion rate, revenue should increase significantly because of the high checkout rate. You can use free tools like Google Analytics to give you a wealth of information about your site visitor and their behavior or there are some great paid tools as well.DM
