Tracking your email messages saves time and money

Let’s imagine for a moment that you have gone through all the necessary steps to create and develop a successful email marketing campaign. You have spent many hours putting together a great looking, well-designed newsletter, and have obtained numerous email addresses from your customers through your web site’s Sign-up form. You have even created an online archive for your newsletters so new subscribers can see what your past issues looked like. Your emails were sent out on their scheduled date, and none of the emails bounced back to you.

However, now that your messages have been sent, you may feel like you are no longer in control of your campaign as you may have several important questions about how well your message performed. Did your subscribers actually read your message, or did they simply open it and delete it? Did they click on any links within the email? Was your message forwarded by one of your current subscribers to someone new?

A critical component of your marketing efforts is measuring and comparing the results of every campaign. Time is money and if your email marketing campaign is not working you must have the ability to act quickly to identify the problems and take the best action to improve your efforts.
