Think Inside The Box

The New 21st Century Box

I am fascinated by statistics and trends. In an article posted by mailchimp concerning email processing, I discovered that open rates and bounce rates vary significantly according to the industry. Hobbies, government and religion have the most open rate, higher click through rates and lower bounce. However, none of the stats were really impressive, at least not to me. All open rates were under 30% with click through rates right around the 3%. Which means that if I could get 5% optin rate on my sites (dreaming I know but still not as depressing) that would mean, out of 1000 visits, if I could get 5% to optin, I would have have 50 emails sent out but only about 14 of them would open the email (if I was presenting a hobbie, an art, government , or religious information) and only one of them would click through to my offer.

The challenge for modern day internet marketers is to think outside that email box” and inside the new box. The new box is of course…The SMART phone.

If there is anyone out there that has any ideas, products, software, courses, forums, or discussion communities that focus on this new medium, please feel free to PM me and pitch the heck out of me. I think any investment in this new “box” will be money in the bank.

Be Blessed as You Continue to Be A Blessing to Others,
