Client Use Case: Send FrequencyOptimization
#RPWT#RPWT
Common Questions
Am I sendingtoo much?
Am I sending enough?
How many subscribers could
be saved?
What are the consequences?
#RPWT
Under-sending causes:• Missed open, click, and
revenue opportunities• Low inbox presence vs.
competition
Consequences of Mismanaging Frequency
Over-sending causes:• Reduced engagement and
subscriber tune out• High complaints and
unsubscribes• Poor inbox placement
Under-sending + Over-sending = Sub-optimal lifetime value
#RPWT#RPWT
• Ignored completely
• One-size-fits-all suppression policy based on recency of engagement
• Long testing cycles
• Inconclusive results
How It’s Done Today
#RPWT
Not all subscribers want to receive email at the same frequency.
Preferences depend on:• Length of brand relationship• Types of content / mail streams• Personal habits and preferences• Seasonality• And many more factors…
One Size Does NOT Fit All
#RPWT
Customer Scenario
Historical MetricsAvg. Promo Campaign Frequency 4 times per week
Total List Size 3,000,000
Avg. Campaign Unsubscribe Rate 0.13%
Total Annual Unsubscribes 811,000
What is your save rate?
#RPWT
Every subscriber has an “ideal” frequency based on how often they received emails in the past and on the following behaviors.
• Opens, Clicks, Conversions• Complaints, Unsubscribes• Interaction with other brands
Subscriber-level Analysis
#RPWT
For all possible frequency options, Return Path predicts each subscriber’s:
• Likelihood to engage• Likelihood to unsubscribe
Then we find the frequency that best balances the two.
