46% compared to 26% for post
• GDPR continues to reassure consumers about how brands treat their personal data. -
42% - BUT - 34% still say they often wonder how a brand got their email address!
• The average consumer has around two personal email addresses and one for work.
• However...Only 13% of people say over half of marketing emails are useful.

to them

• 43% - Want notice of new
products/services and sales relevant to
them
• Offers : Relevance : Usefulness are the 3
prevailing reasons for their favourite
emails

What do they do next?
When on a desktop
• 29% - Click on the email
• 25% - Save the email for later
When on a smartphone:-

The investment business case...
Database is 50,000
If you were to send non targeted emails. Revenue from email =
£1.4m (£28 on average per customer)
However if for 15000 you were able to deliver deeper targeted
messages. Your new revenue would be:-
25000 @ £42 per customer = £1m
25000 @ £28 per customer = £700k
New revenue from email = £1.7m (an extra £300k)
The cost - s/w & services - £50,000
That’s 6 times ROI!

Be Useful...
Apart from product recommendations… there are ways in which
personalisation can deliver useful messages for the consumer
1. Post purchase receipts - easy to access
2. Post purchase content - about the
product you’ve bought
1. Replenishment and renewal

Be Trustworthy...

However, there is a fine line between keeping relevant and being creepy.
1. Be Sensitive to strangers
2. Plan for when your data could be incorrect
3. Be clear on how you are using their data
4. Always check back on the rules and campaigns

The language of love...
“A general ‘law of least effort’ applies to cognitive as well
as physical exertion. The law asserts that if there are
several ways of achieving the same goal, people will
eventually gravitate to the least demanding course of
action...laziness is built deep into our nature”
Daniel Kahneman
