Measure the Effectiveness of an E-Mail Marketing Campaign

One of the most important things about email marketing is to ensure your return on investment (ROI) remains reasonable.

What many people often don't realize is that even when no money is going into sending out an e-mail, your time is being used. The payout for that time should be commensurate with your effort.

1. 1
   A good starting point is to focus on the click-through rates and the number of times that the e-mail is opened

This builds trust and generates some interest from the potential customer.

   Research your information carefully

   You need to ensure that the content you are sending doesn't violate the CAN-SPAM Act. It is important that you are only sending information to those who have signed up to receive content from you to avoid penalties. It is generally a good idea to focus on a double opt-in list to avoid problems.
