Email marketing: Automated emails proved to be highly effective as per a study by Omnisend

Email Marketing’s Still Got It!

Email marketing sometimes gets a bad rap. It’s been around for so long that some people mistakenly believe that it is outdated and ineffective.

Omnisend’s new analysis blows that line of thinking out of the water.

Omnisend gathered from over 17 billion emails, 107 million SMS, and 207 million web push messages sent by Omnisend merchants to shed light on the effectiveness of different marketing channels.

The results show that email remains the most popular and efficient marketing channel, generating an average ROI of $36 for every $1 invested. US-based Omnisend customers experienced an impressive email ROI of $72 for every $1 spent in 2022.

Among various email campaigns, back-in-stock emails had the highest conversion rate of 7.3%, followed by welcome emails with 3%.

When considering different industries, food and drink emails were the most effective, converting at more than double the overall average conversion rate.

Automated emails proved to be highly effective, outperforming manual email campaigns in all metrics with an 83.4% improvement in open rates, a 341.1% increase in click rates, and a massive 2,270% lift in conversion rates.

As brands face expected challenges in 2023, such as reduced consumer spending and increased costs for paid ads, the study suggests maximizing automation and embracing SMS and push notifications as critical strategies.

In last week’s webinar, on WP Engine’s Builder Tools we shared a few of the recent improvements to WP Migrate. We extended our existing database export functionality to be a full-site export – adding the ability to include media files, themes, plugins, and even WordPress core files.

You can also drag and drop this exported zip file right into Local, and in a matter of minutes, spin up the site on your local machine. Meaning you can build locally in a low-stress, low-risk environment.

One really cool thing about when an export is imported into Local is Local will automatically match PHP and MySQL versions to the export files! Making the whole remote to Local workflow faster and easier than it’s ever been.
