Are you paying adequate attention to your transactional emails?
What are transactional emails? Think welcome emails, invoices, renewal reminders, failed payments, or any other automated messages you send in response to a specific action or transaction on your OTT streaming website or app. Even though these aren't sent as a part of specific marketing campaigns, they can significantly impact your engagement levels and revenue outcomes.
- Usually, transactional emails have a higher open and engagement rate than promotional ones. That’s because recipients are actively expecting and interested in the content of these messages.
- Alongside ensuring that critical information reaches users promptly, transactional emails impact the customer experience and shape a brand's image.
- Interesting fact: The average revenue per transactional email is 2-5 times higher than standard bulk mail. Think about how powerful a solid dunning email could be that catches the recipient's eye! It can impact your involuntary churn levels and raise your ROI.
Such facts bring us to the obvious question.
Why are most broadcasters still sending antiquated transactional emails?
We've observed that most media and entertainment companies tend to underperform on this front due to:
- Legacy-driven approaches: Historical approaches are followed in their organizations without considering reviewing them.
- Limited platform capabilities: Many broadcasters send transactional emails from their eCommerce platform instead of using a specialized marketing platform. This technical choice restricts modern formatting options, content styles, etc.
- Restricted segmentation in the email audience lists: Often, companies depend on the data lying as it is in their transactional system. This reduces flexibility and creativity in creating and leveraging custom audience lists.
- Involvement of IT teams instead of marketing: The onus for sending and managing transactional emails often lies with IT teams. They need more specialization in crafting content that resonates and generates the desired outcome. Thus, the companies miss the opportunities.
Does any of the above describe your organization's transactional email story?
