Email Marketing – Consumers Are Opening Lesser Emails But…

It is still damn profitable.

According to a study published in Mailermailer, the percentage of consumers who would open an email toread is decreasing.

The average marketing e-mail open rate fell to 13.20% in the first half of 2008, compared with 16.11% in the first half of 2007. Click rates have also fallen from 3.18% in the first half of 2007 to 2.73% in the first half of this year.

A few industries like banking, finance, religious, spiritual, government and telecommunications have higher rate of opening than others.

In an interesting note it was found that shorter subject lines performed better than long ones. As revealed in previous studies, shorter subject lines performed better than longer ones. Subject lines of less than 35 characters yielded an average open rate of 19.6% and a 3.1% average click rate. The subject lines less than 35 charecters performed much better than subject lines of 35 or more which drew average open rates of 14.8% and average click rates of 1.9%.

But in spit of this and its lack of grammar email is great in delivering results and marketers love email marketing.

Another study by Econsultancy and R.O.EYE said that e-mail was second only to paid search when it came to driving high volume. Not only this  e-mail marketing yielded the best ROI of any tactic.

So whatever you may be doing right now, do put measures to capture subscribers fo your list.

8 Things You Must Manage As An Internet Entrepreneur

Internet entrepreneur works solo most of the times. There are lot of things that he must do everyday. If you are working art time, you would find this even more difficult. Sometimes you do not have time, sometimes you get frustrated and at other times you loose the hope altogether.

First of all it needs to be understood that you are in business and it would take time to build up and bring the sweet fruits. Your ultimate achievement is dictated by the goals you set for yourself. Today I want to discuss few things that you need to manage to rise in your business.

Manage Focus

As your workload increases, distractions increase too. With internet they become manifold. Emails, IMs, hyperlinks, forums and unnecessary sites to name a few. Add to this the disadvantages of home office. Family, children and friends top the list.

Learn to manage these distraction. Plan your work environment so that you are disturbed least by constant interruptions. Avoid frequent email checking or turn off IM when you are not communicating. Set daily targets and create daily check lists.

Achieve daily. This would add up in the long run.

Manage Yourself

Because you are the only person working for yourself, you must try your best not to fall ill. Keep an exercise routine, take healthy diet, drink plenty of fluids and take adequate sleep everyday. Do not compromise your health on anything.

A break can help to rejuvenate yourself  when you are too exhausted to work.

Manage Your Time

First you need to find which one is yours? I find it best to work in the morning. Nights are okay but mornings are very fresh and full of energy.

You might feel other way and it is perfectly fine. You need to find your natural rhythm and harness it.

Rhythms also synchronize with places. it is not necessary that you should tie yourself down to your home office. You can try cafe, restaurant or garden to maximize the output.

Manage Plan and Strategy

You must plan your business ahead. You must create a work strategy for next three months after analyzing your last quarter. Subject yourself to audit. Find your weak links. Prioritize your works so that your core components are not affected at any price..

Manage Contacts

Creating network is business essential. get to know people and interact with them. Participate in forums and blog comments. Mail people. They usually respond. By and by your network and sphere of influence would grow.

Manage Responses

Keep an eye on your business, your market and  adjust your responses accordingly. Say no when you want to and say yes when you need to. Keep and eye on opportunities and grab them as they come to you. Be aware of your field by reading a lot. RSS, social sites, news sites would give you the required scoop.

Automate

More you do this lesser you are tied down to your chore management. Find softwares that would work for you and work faster than you. Outsource your work to specialized people. It is very rewarding in the end. Create systems of work so that you have  minimum of chaos.

Manage Finances

This might seem absurd to the one who has just begun because there would be little to manage but what I want to stress is account keeping. Keep a tab on every penny spent on your business. This habit would help a lot when you have lot of financial movement at your hand.

Good luck
