It’s the perfect channel where you can truly understand why marketers are going away from B2B and B2C to P2P.  Gmail the most-used email client worldwide and the most-used email client in India  (84%), last year introduced ‘block’ and ‘unsubscribe’ features for users to block email Ids and unsubscribe from newsletters with a few clicks.

TRENDS IN EMAIL MARKETING IN INDIA

http://lighthouseinsights.in/email-marketing-trending-data-for-2016.html/

2016 will also witness a jump of almost 50% of India Marketers who will be increasing their investment by 31%-50% in email channel. The biggest jump in percentage of 42% happens in less than 10% followed by 11-30% of 30%. The good sign is that there is a growing trend of increase in budget % across all segments. To sum it up, I’d like to read out the Top 8 Highlights on Email Marketing shared by Octane Marketing in their Inbox Report 2015.

 ‘Frequency/Volumes of sending’ is the most important factor that will impact Inbox Deliverability in 2015, replacing ‘Content’ as the primary factor since 2011.

 ‘Sender Reputation’ is a growing concern for marketers, with 66% increase over the last 5 years (36% in 2015 vs 21% in 2011).

 ‘Reaching out to the target audience’ is the biggest Email Marketing challenge India Marketers faced in 2014, with 51% Marketers agreeing to this statement.

 However, 60% of BFSI sectors believe ‘Inadequate Segmentation’ to be a bigger issue for them. Over the years from 2012 to 2014, ‘Emails being not relevant’ is the top reason for consumers unsubscribing followed by ‘Do not remember signing up’.

 Emails viewed on Android and Windows devices have increased by 11% in 2014, abridging the share from Apple products, still desktop views continue to have 67% of all Open % Share.

 For Click % Share, Mumbai (30%) leads the consumer email activity followed by Delhi (28%), Bengaluru (17%) and Chennai (11%) in 2014 as compared to 2013.

 For e-Commerce sector, from 9am to 12noon there is an almost 300% increase in Open Rates with Click Through Rates (CTR) not far behind.

 Shopping Cart Abandonment is an important issue for all Online Retailers. Deploying a simple Cart Abandonment Program (CAP) increases revenue by improving Cart Abandonment Rates. Yet currently only 48% of India e-Commerce Marketers have deployed a Cart Abandonment Program.

 100% of large companies (Rs. 5000+ crores turnover) &  ‘Behavioral Targeting’ and the number of retail marketers believe that ‘Behavioral Targeting’ has brought signi”cant change to their campaigns have increased by 24% (77% in 2015 vs 62% in 2014).
