RE: Compendium of Industry benchmarks (jungle.com)

 
The following stats are based on about 1,200 email campaigns that I was involved with in the last 3 years in Jungle.com:

CTR Conversion SalesPerEmail, £

Non-targeted: 2-4% 2-4% 0.03-0.10
Sales history targeting: 3-8% 4-7% 0.05 - 1.00
Experimental targeting: 20-40% 10-40% 3.00-10.00

It should be said that in my experience response, conversion and sales per email

Definitions we used:

CTR: Total number of clicks from email campaign (not unique)

Conversion: number of PLACED order divided by CTR

SalesPerEmail: Total PLACED sales dividing by number of recipients on the list.

Experimental targeting: a highly effective targeting technique that I developed (invented even?) that is a bit too early to tell the whole world about.

      Hi Ashley.... I find these benchmarks very useful and agree with most of your estimates. Here are a couple of other benchmarks that could be useful: a) Percentage of traffic co ...

        Thanks for those Barney - very interesting. I would say your average pages per visit was a bit high? My benchmark there would be 5-7. Perhaps it is more in your sector - all th ...

          From our sector (e-commerce, mainly B2C) the oft-quoted benchmark for browse to buy is 1-2% Many quote higher, and our mission is to get people there, but something to bear in m ...

            Hi Robin I entirely agree about the need for sub-segmentation as you suggest. Care to bandy some figures around then for the segments you put forward? I haven't checked with ...

          My page views could be high... these are "entertainment sites", but this is a fairly solid benchmark for sites in this sector - probably simply reflecting the number of interesting ...

        I think this is all great stuff - but - it’s important that you consider cash in (gross profit) and cash out (operating expenses) alongside these numbers. Perhaps a few KPI's I ...
