How much money should your email marketing bring to your eCommerce?

Navigating the world of email marketing can be a game-changer for any e-commerce business. Understanding and leveraging the right benchmarks can significantly boost your revenue. But what's a realistic target? Should you aim for 20%, 25%, or even 50% of your revenue coming from email marketing? Let's dive into how you can make email marketing, especially through tools like Klaviyo, a potent revenue generator for your e-commerce venture.

The role of benchmarks in email marketing

Did you know that a well-executed email marketing strategy can contribute between 20% to 25% of your total revenue? In some exceptional cases, this can even soar up to 50%. These figures aren't just aspirational; they're attainable targets. But remember, email marketing is more of an amplifier than a magician; it enhances what you're already doing in terms of sales, rather than creating leads out of thin air.

Crafting a compelling welcome offer

The key to unlocking your email marketing potential starts with an irresistible welcome offer. Your welcome flow is crucial; it's often the second or third highest-performing flow in many Klaviyo accounts, just behind the abandoned checkout flow. If your welcome flow isn’t among your top performers, it's time to reconsider the allure of your welcome offer and how you’re capturing sign-ups.

Fine-tuning the welcome flow

Is your pop-up form converting visitors into subscribers effectively? A healthy sign-up rate is critical. If you're only seeing a 1% or 2% rate, there’s room for improvement. This could be due to an unappealing welcome offer or the way it's presented. Sometimes, a simple tweak in design or copy can make all the difference.

Communicating your offer effectively

How you frame your offer matters. For instance, if you can afford a 10% discount on an average product price of $150, consider presenting it as a $15 off coupon instead. A direct dollar discount often appears more valuable than a percentage off, and it’s all about perceived value.

Beyond the first purchase – fostering customer loyalty

Email marketing, particularly through platforms like Klaviyo, is incredibly effective for customer retention. But it can only do so much if your customers don’t want to repurchase. Ensure your product and customer service quality are top-notch. After all, a great first impression leads to lasting customer relationships.

Addressing core business fundamentals

If you’ve ticked all the right boxes in your email marketing strategy and still don’t see returning customers, it might be time to revisit your business basics. Are your products meeting customer expectations? How is your customer service faring? These elements are crucial for a successful email marketing strategy.

Conclusion

Email marketing can significantly contribute to your e-commerce revenue, especially when using sophisticated tools like Klaviyo. By setting realistic benchmarks, crafting enticing offers, and focusing on customer satisfaction, you can turn email marketing into a powerful revenue driver. But remember, it amplifies existing business strengths – so make sure your fundamental business practices are solid.

Is my data safe with you?

At Multimerce, we don't directly manage your data; rather, we access it through marketing platforms like Meta, Google, and Klaviyo. These platforms are responsible for the security of your data.

Nonetheless, we adopt stringent security procedures on our end, including enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) for all accounts and users, to ensure an additional layer of safety for your information.

How does the pause feature work?

We recognise that your needs may vary from month to month, and you may not require a continuous stream of Digital Marketing work. That's where our subscription pause feature becomes valuable.

From your client account, click 'Pause' subscription and choose between your preferred date, immediately, or a future pause.

You can also cancel your pause and start working with us again straight away if your needs change.

How are payments processed?

We use Chargebee to manage and process all recurring payments for our subscriptions. This robust and secure platform accepts a range of payment methods, including all major credit and debit cards.

We prioritise the security of your payment data, adhering to strict data protection standards to keep your financial information safe.

Through your account, you have full access to all invoices and billing details, and you can easily pause or cancel your subscription at any time.

Can I pay by invoices instead of subscribing?

To streamline our billing and accounting processes and maintain a focus on what truly matters—marketing—all payments (with the exception of quarterly pre-paid billing) must be made through our subscription plans, charged at the chosen intervals.

Opting for the convenience of your debit/credit card payments can unlock special benefits provided by many card companies, such as discounted travel fares, loyalty benefits and more.

Are there any refunds if I don't like the service?

We take pride in delivering high-quality work and provide simple and transparent pay-as-you-go pre-paid services. As a result, we do not provide refunds. However, we honour your trust in us to deliver work that fits the brief and are open to working with you to achieve the desired result.
