According to Nua
Internet Surveys, Jupiter Media Metrix believes that
customer acquisition costs can be reduced 27% by using viral
marketing approaches, as well as increasing order size by 60%.
Likewise, a
study by Sharpe Partners found that 89% of US adult Internet
users forward content to others via e-mail. They found that
25% forward email content daily and 23% do so several times a
week. They also found that 41% forward to 1-3 people, 34%
forward to 4-6 people, and 13% share with 7-9.
Let's do the math using
these findings:
Let's say you were to email a list of 100,000 and 89% (89,000)
individuals were to forward your message on. 41% (41,000)
forward to an average of 2 people (82,000), 34% (34,000) forward
to an average of 5 people (!70,000), and 13% share with an
average of 8 new people (104,000). This would mean that
the second generation email forwards increased your advertising
circulation by an additional 356,000 on top of the 100,000 first
generation recipients. Bear in mind the exponential growth
that would occur if these statistics again bear out for a third,
fourth and fifth (and beyond) generation forwarding wave.
Utilizing a compelling
message or a powerful incentive -- such as points toward a
discount, free service or prize for each email referral -- a
business, political campaign or charity can utilize AIM to
provide a demographically rich, lifestyle targeted opt-in email
list to send the first generation message to.
AIM can also work with you
to build in the administrative features necessary to run an
incentive reward program or to build a more compelling,
interactive message incorporating such things as voice message
clips.
Where AIM transmits the
email campaign for you, we also make certain that your message is compliant
with "CAN-SPAM" laws. As our lists are 100% opt-in you
can be sure that your message will be welcome since these
individuals have agreed to receive information from
third-parties (part of the opt-in process).
AIM can also enhance your
own customer list or supporter list with email addresses matched
from our email address resources. This will enable
you to reach out by email with a viral message to those whom you
have built-in affinity with.
Remember, the heart of
your campaign, including your ability to connect a relevant and
compelling message to the list, depends on the quality and depth of your data.
That's
where we come in!
