Competitive email marketing intelligence

InboxVision AnalyserInboxVision Analyser is a global searchable database of

millions of B2B, B2C & Not-for-Profit email marketing campaigns

Three seconds to get noticed INSIDE your Prospects & Customers INBOX

Every day your prospects and customers’ inboxes are flooded with competitor emails. The average B2B inbox receives 185 messages per day (67,525 messages annually); the average consumer receives 85 messages per day (31,025 messages annually). Typically, a commercial email has a maximum of just 7 seconds to make an impact - 3 seconds to get noticed and a further 4 seconds to generate a response. Getting your message noticed above the clutter is more critical than ever before. But to do this effectively you need to know exactly what the competition is doing. The current way of measuring email success, using metrics such as deliverables, opens and clicks etc is no longer sufficient if you want to win the battle for the inbox. To gain the competitive advantage you must also measure creativity, design and content.

Who’s sending what, when and how often?Up to date email marketing intelligence is the key to running a successful e-marketing campaign. Knowing what messages your competitors are sending enables you to analyse rival campaigns, make informed decisions on your own offers and take inspiration and ideas from other email marketers.The speed and reach of email has revolutionised the way the world does business. Yet unlike conventional advertising, email marketing is extremely difficult to monitor because it uses ‘push’ technology - i.e. unlike websites or blogs, once it leaves the broadcast system it disappears instantly from the internet into the inbox, rarely to be seen again. Email slips in beneath the radar, and so far there has been no reliable way of getting an up-to-date view of your industry’s e-marketing output. Every day businesses are sending out thousands of emails. But the only way to find out what they are emailing would be to sign up for every email subscription and then spend countless hours going through them all to sift out the relevant information. An impossible task - until now...

“Every now and then a new service comes along that can genuinely help with creating effective campaigns. Up until now we have been able to monitor other brands’ advertising both creatively and by expenditure. We can also watch and learn from what they are doing on the social networks. But InboxVision has opened us up a whole new dimension. This new monitoring tool lets us see what brands are doing with their email campaigns. This is a revolution in the market. How better to learn and improve our own email communication copy and strategy than by seeing what our clients’ competitors are doing and what they are doing most of and in real time. It won’t cut the sweat of our own creativity, but it will show us some very good indicators.”

“I was genuinely impressed with this new product. In an age when email marketing is becoming increasing difficult to gain results this product is ideal for perfecting the finer points of a company’s email strategy. Every company needs to keep an eye on their competitors; to learn from what they are doing well (or not) and to keep competitive in the market. This monitoring tool allows you to do just that. You can see what offers and promotions are being sent out or new products that are being released and mould the positive factors into your own marketing strategy.I have previously tried to keep up with competitors’ email strategies but have never been able to do it effectively or time efficiently. Using this monitoring tool overcomes both these problems; it organises the data in an easy to access system and cuts out the time the whole process would have taken to do manually.”

Will Russell, Company Director, Only Marketing Jobs, Winner of the “Best Specialist Job Board” at the NORAs 2010.
