Q : What is the difference between the impact of a fax broadcast and that of an e-mail broadcast?
A :The objectives of a fax and e-mail broadcast are completely different. The first generates calls while the second increases the number of visitors to your Web site.

Q : What is the response rate of an e-mail marketing campaign?
A : Before answering this question, it should be specified that the response rate is related to the increase in information requests. The response rate does not correspond to the amount of sales! We transmit information concerning your product or your service; then, it is up to you to close the sale!

Historically, the response rate has ranged between 0% and 5%. The success rate of a marketing campaign varies greatly from one product/service to another and even between similar products/services. Whatever form of media used, the graphics used on the promotional document and the frequency of promotional sending, along with the product and its cost, are key elements in a successful campaign. We do not have control over all of these elements.
