Eight Legged Media Sends Less Emails More Effectively with StreamSend

The StreamSend Email Marketing Service played a critical role in helping Eight Legged Media significantly improve the profitability of their email marketing campaigns.

Eight Legged Media Sends Less Emails More Effectively with StreamSend
Sacramento, CA, March 13, 2009 --(PR.com)-- StreamSend, a leading email marketing solutions provider, announced its role in helping electronic marketing firm Eight Legged Media deliver successful email marketing campaigns based on prospect-driven rules.

Eight Legged Media focuses on helping its clients reach and sell their products to promotional products businesses (PPBs), offering a lower cost solution with greater results. But with numerous other email marketing message providers specializing in this area, target inboxes were becoming swamped with as many as 250 messages in a day.

In a break from its competitors, Eight Legged Media polled the sales executives at the PPBs to gauge their desired level of communication. As a result, Eight Legged Media committed to three email marketing rules: limit emails to about half the industry norm; maintain a waiting period so that sales executives will not see repeat ads for 90 days; keep a limit of two emails per product per month.

Looking to find the most accurate, cost-efficient email marketing solutions provider to deliver messages by these rules, 8 Legged Media chose StreamSend.

StreamSend has played a critical role in making sure that these more selectively-sent messages are getting through to the correct addresses, recognizing opt-outs and change requests with highly accurate tracking, and providing reliable testing for ongoing improvement. Complaints dropped, delivery climbed.

Eight Legged Media now maintains a 10-14% open rate and better than 50% increase in click-through rate as a result of this more accurate tracking.

StreamSend worked with online reputation management service Return Path so that Eight Legged Media could work with them at a reduced rate while optimizing message approvals through Internet Service Providers (ISPs). And because of the private IP address supplied by StreamSend, Eight Legged Media’s reputation was safe from the problem of IP-sharing emailers’ practices affecting other senders from that address. These reputation management steps led to an 80% drop in “bounce” rate over six months.

“By reversing the system and going to email recipients to gauge their preferences, we knew we’d need an email marketing provider that could deliver not just messages, but accuracy and effectiveness,” said Dustin Harris, principal of Eight Legged Media. “StreamSend has been a great partner as we send fewer messages more profitably-- making sure those emails are received, read and responded to by the right decision-makers.”
