How to Calculate Email Marketing ROI
Email marketing remains one of the most cost-effective digital marketing channels. To understand if your campaigns are truly profitable, you need to calculate the Return on Investment (ROI). This metric compares the net profit generated from your email efforts against the total cost of running those campaigns.
The ROI Formula
The standard formula used in this calculator is:
ROI = ((Revenue – Campaign Cost) / Campaign Cost) * 100
Key Metrics Explained
- Campaign Cost: Includes software fees, copywriting costs, design fees, and ad spend for list growth.
- Click Rate: The percentage of recipients who clicked at least one link in your email.
- Conversion Rate: The percentage of those who clicked who actually completed a purchase.
- Average Order Value (AOV): The average amount spent by a customer during a single transaction.
Example Scenario
Imagine you send a newsletter to 20,000 subscribers. Your total cost for the software and labor is $400. You achieve a 2% click rate (400 clicks) and a 5% conversion rate (20 sales). If your AOV is $100, your total revenue is $2,000.
In this case, your net profit is $1,600, resulting in a 400% ROI ($1,600 profit / $400 cost).
Tips to Improve Your Email ROI
- Segment Your List: Sending relevant content to specific groups increases conversion rates.
- A/B Test Subject Lines: Higher open rates lead to more clicks and more revenue.
- Optimize Landing Pages: Ensure the destination of your email link is high-converting and mobile-friendly.
- Clean Your List: Removing inactive subscribers reduces costs and improves deliverability.
