14. Good News = Bad News Email marketers are motivated by low-CPM tactics that conflict with relevancy. Untargeted email that does not involve the use of dynamic content and more advanced features will continue to enjoy lower CPM (cost per thousand) sending costs than their more sophisticated counterparts, since these advanced email marketing features are typically associated with premiums. Additionally, email marketers are often motivated by the wrong incentives — such as sending to larger lists that include nonresponsive subscribers — simply to benefit from lower CPM sending costs. However, such practices often conflict with best practices such as reducing list sizes to weed out dormant subscribers, the use of relevancy to dictate frequency, and the notion that email marketers should be rewarded based on subscriber engagement rather than list size.
