The report analyzes goals for organizations looking to achieve the best ROI by applying email marketing strategies to boost their marketing efforts. The results also unveil crucial insights and trends today’s marketers need to understand to be successful.

Key insights include:

Email marketing is the leading tool for digital marketers

Fifty-nine percent of marketers reported email continues to generate the most ROI for their organization. In a world consumed by digital marketing channels, social media, display ads and video, they are trailing behind email marketing when it comes to ROI for most organizations. As a result, marketers plan to increase their spend on email marketing by 25 percent.

Personalization pays off

Thirty-nine percent of survey respondents said they never personalize their emails and 21 percent never use segmentation, yet 96 percent of organizations believe that personalization can improve email marketing performance and conversions. But, personalization goes beyond adding a recipient’s first name to a subject line. Marketers must use data to create a truly personal experience.

Master the basics before moving forward with trendy tactics

Most marketers don’t have the resources they need to get on board with trendy tactics. Instead of focusing on the next big thing, first master how to provide the type of relevant experiences consumers expect using the tools already available, then turn to new technology like artificial intelligence and live video.
