How many people here think email is dead?
Objective
In the next twenty minutes I am going to convince you that email is not dead but that we very well may be killing it.
WIIFM
but I am also going to give you some tactics that you can employ to eradicate batch and blast from your business and an example of how the UK shoe retailer Dune has been tackling the problem

Most popular with marketers
95% of marketers say that email marketing is important or very important to their overall marketing strategy…
… over 50% of marketers see a return of more than 10 to 1. In other words they make 10 euro or dollars or pounds or yen for every one they spend.
It’s the preferred mode of marketing for consumers.
The key stat for me here is the Millennials… I keep hearing that they will not use email. However the stats prove otherwise…
They are in fact the most prolific users of email on their smartphones.
BUT … We may be killing it…
Too much
Consumers
61% get more than 21 per week
B2C Marketers
4.3 contacts per month
25% more than 5
85% of UK consumers say that more than ½ of the emails they receive are irrelevant.
42% of email marketers AGREE
Tactics to build relevance.
There are going to be some recipients who fall out of some of these tactics which still need to receive your email communications.
First, let’s look at a simple model that works very well for our clients. We evaluate every tactic for both benefit and cost.
Top right; this is where you want to focus your energy and resources.
Bottom left: Why is your business is doing it at all but BUT you cannot not always control that so you have to be good at ignoring it as a distraction.
Top left: Should probably be under your control or at the least you should have strategic input into how they operate
Bottom right: Channels that fall in the bottom right box either need to work better or you need to kill them
So lets plot the tactics on the matrix. We can add a third dimension around the ease of implementing these tactics. The bigger the dots, the easier it is to implement the tactic.
Remember the goal of this is to just pick where you are going to get started so there is no point focussing on tactics that will be really hard for you to implement.
Don’t get analysis paralysis.

Any tactic which helps you deliver more relevant emails to recipients will help you kill batch and blast
You should pick the tactics that deliver the most benefit, cost the least, and are easy to implement.
