What would be a good email address for me?

What are good ways of calculating the value of an email address?

  • Stan Rapp calculates that the value of an email address to a knowledgeable marketer is $118. Is there a calculation for the value of an email address in an email marketing campaign?

  • Answer:

    There are many ways to calculate that, and how you do it will depend on your organization's situation. One way that I've found useful is understanding the Life time value of an email subscriber, which involves understanding your email list growth, churn, revenue generated, and costs (email ops and general business) to understand the average profit generated by a subscriber.  I would suggest checking out Successful Email Strategies by Arthur Sweetser, which has a great chapter on this.

Back in 2008, the DMA in the UK came up with the magic figure of £9.11 - but depending on who you are, what you do, and what you want, this could be horribly misleading. The E-consultancy article at http://econsultancy.com/uk/blog/2148-9-11-the-value-of-an-email-address contains some nice pointers on why such a value should be used with caution.
