Quick question: how much does the average email recipient spend at your Website or shop?

If you can’t answer that, don’t worry – you’re not alone. Email marketing return on investment is a big unknown for lots of email marketers.

But thanks to our new Google Analytics feature, you’ll get your answer.

Now you can add Google Analytics – for free – to your Benchmark Email newsletter and email campaigns. You’ll get an exact figure on how much your recipients spend, what they spend their money on, and where they go when they click on an email link and land on your site.

With Google Analytics and Benchmark Email you can view:

• How much each email recipient spent, on average, at your site
• Which customers made the big purchases and which ones made smaller ones
• Where email marketing recipients went when they showed up at your site
• How much you’re spending on email campaigns versus how much you’re taking in
• Which site pages dead end and which ones bring in the best conversions
• Problem pages on your site that cause people to move on to something else
• Which customers abandoned their shopping carts
• Which products bring in the most traffic and which ones fall flat
