Have you ever wondered how your competitors might be using eCommerce email marketing?
We sure did. In order to deliver the best fully managed eCommerce email marketing service to our clients we needed to opt in to over 200 email campaigns in 15 different eCommerce industries. Analyzing the email strategies of our clients competitors gave us the opportunity to deliver actionable advice on increasing the lifetime value of their eCommerce subscribers.
Using a unique email just for newsletters we didn’t open a single eCommerce campaign for over 1 year. Doing so took about 80 hours of work. I am a nerd so with some fresh java I had a ton of fun going through the campaigns but I definitely thought to myself there has to be a better way.

Definietly one of those how did I not think of this ideas !@#!#$
Subscribing to each email campaign, analyzing the eCommerce welcome series, update user profile preferences links, and the eTailers unsubscribe series was educational but monotonous.
