Email continues to lead the nurturing and retention strategy of virtually every business online. It’s affordable, it’s easy to implement, it’s measurable, and it’s effective. However, if organizations abuse this medium, it will have repercussions.
Unsolicited spam is out of control and too many businesses continue to violate the terms of service of email providers and import lists. By doing this, they’re degrading the email reputation of their business and emails to opted-in, valuable subscribers aren’t being seen. They’re going directly to the junk folder.
According to this infographic, Email Marketing by the Numbers: A Smart Investment, from Campaign Monitor, here are the latest statistics on email marketing:
- As of 2018, over 3.8 billion people worldwide use email. That’s half the world’s population!

- Users send a collective 281.1 billion emails daily, 195 million every minute.

- The average email click-through rate (CTR) in North America is 3.1%, it’s 4.19% in the United Kingdom.
