It is typical for email marketing campaigns to top the 2% conversion rates typically expected from direct mail. In fact, email delivers the highest return-on-investment across marketing mediums by an eye-popping margin of $57.25 for every dollar spent on it in 2005, according to the Direct Marketing Association's “The Power of Direct Marketing”(October 2006). Not only that, but email is delivering sales at an average cost per order of less than $7! Compare this to the average costs per order of $71.89 for banner ads, $26.75 for paid search and $17.47 for affiliate programs, according to Shop.org's “State of Retailing Online 2007” (September 2007). These facts further support our belief that email marketing can be the highly lucrative tool that will take your business to the next level.
