The Retail Email Index: The average weekly promotional email volume sent by top online retailers to each of their subscribers rose 3% week-over-week to a new year-to-date high of 3.7 emails during the week ending Dec. 4, 2009. It’s up 44% from where it was four weeks ago and it’s up 12% year-over-year (moving 4-week average versus comparable 4-week moving average last year).
The Retail Email Participation Rate: Monday, which was Cyber Monday, was the most popular day to send retail emails last week—and indeed was the most popular day of the year thus far.
The Retail Email Seasonality Meter: Holiday messaging will continue to dominate inboxes for the next two weeks and then we’ll start seeing New Year’s messaging.
