Faced with store closures and a customer base resigned to their homes, retailers have displayed their resilience and relied on email marketing to keep their businesses moving. And it’s worked!
As operations have moved online customers have followed. New account sign-ups have increased 2.5X, and even re-engagement rates are up as lapsed customers come back to purchase.
Of course this additional activity presents additional challenges. As volumes increase, maintaining good deliverability becomes harder. And even when those emails have been delivered, there is the challenge of driving subscriber engagement to cut through the noise to maximise share of eye and share of wallet. Not to mention new considerations as sending times have evolved, device usage has changed, and tone of voice has become so much more important.
