Large Scale Email Blast Statistics
To help you better understand the ROI benefits of sending email blasts to large consumer groups, we have gathered together a few proven email marketing statistics.

They also found that email was approximately 40 times more effective at targeting and acquiring new clients than Facebook or Twitter.

• 70 percent of individuals polled readily admit that they will always open an email, if it is from one of their favorite businesses. The latter mentality can be strategically leveraged by businesses to send emails on a large scale basis to individuals whom have expressed an interest in their brand, with the aims of further improving open rates.
• Salesforce recently discovered that 95 percent of individuals who opt-in to email subscription lists find the emails to be “somewhat or very useful.”
• ExactTarget reported that 91 percent of active consumers will check their email a minimum of one time per day, which means that more frequent large scale email marketing blasts have a higher chance of being viewed multiple times during the day.

However, before you begin to send out mass emails, you must first gather the appropriate audience information; after all, an email is only as effective as its subject line, the content it contains, the interest level of the intended recipients, and the time of day it is sent. When you know your intended audience, you will be able to create emails that appeal to them and provide value. Of course, you must not forget to follow all of the applicable laws pertaining to email advertising, and be sure you have a strong analytics platform in place to track your success and optimize your offering.
