Improve your email marketing performance with email appending
There are 4.3 billion email users throughout the world - that's over half the population. From that figure, there are 85% of us using email daily - checking, sending, or receiving. With those kinds of numbers, it is understandable why email is considered the most effective communication method for a huge percentage of the population.
For businesses, email enables volume contact campaigns across a host of business applications, helping you reach more customers and get your message heard. However, recent statistics have shown that between 20% of email addresses are incorrect due to being entered incorrectly, people using multiple addresses, or changing jobs. This creates 'hard bounces' and returned emails which is frustrating for the sender.

All businesses rely on good data and your customer list is probably one of your organisation's greatest assets. Long before the advent of digital marketing, direct mail, lettering, and telephone contact was the best way of engaging with your customers but in this digital age when most customers are digitally connected 24-7, it makes sense to reach them via their inboxes. However, you are only as good as the data that you have.
Email data ages with time; but that's not the only reason regular email appending should be part of your internal processes; errors such as typos, fake email addresses used in sign-up forms, people leaving jobs or changing titles, domain name changes, unmonitored emails, missing letters or digits, or a recipient passing away - all of these will have an impact on the quality of your email data and can be the difference between you engaging with your target audience or customer base, or getting a 'hard bounce back' (A hard bounce back indicates that the recipient email address is no longer functional, unlike a soft bounce back where the user's inbox may be full, a server being temporarily down, or the message being too large).
So, it's good business sense to keep data sharp through appending.
Whilst email is an effective method of engaging with your customers and prospects, not many companies are fully aware of data appending and how it can increase ROI on your communications. It is surprising how many 'experts' in digital marketing are working with defunct email data.
