BMW

Great figures

With their email newsletter, the German BMW branches consistently emphasize regionalized direct communication – extended to the online world. The varied mixture of topics is convincing, ranging from new products to expert tips to attractive offers. The email newsletter constantly achieves significantly above-average opening and click rates, which contributes considerably to customer loyalization and sales support. That’s exactly what the latest evaluation confirms.

The email newsletter of the BMW branches achieves absolute peak values over a long period of time. The opening rate, for instance, amounts to 70 percent, which is around 40 percent above customary average values. The click rate, too, is three times as high as usual, with an average value of 24 percent. „Given six issues per year and more than 50,000 subscribers, we achieve an excellent coverage“, says Lutz Eckardt, Corporate Publishing Manager at heller & partner.

The recipe for success is the regional focus. Each BMW branch can compile its own individualized email newsletter several times a year. The variety of topics – a combination of central news and topics as well as regional events and offers – arouses the readers’ interest.

„It’s the combination of these high usage figures and the little cost per addressee that makes the concept so attractive“, says Lutz Eckardt. „This success shows once more that clearly targeted email marketing is an effective and economic tool.“
