Black Friday Open Rates—Find Out How You Ranked Against The Pros

With Black Friday behind us, the burning question is, what were your open rates?

Tune into this week’s Round Table discussion as Team Land Geek reveals the details of their campaigns, including open rates, click throughs, sales, and techniques!

Joining Mark this week are:

• Erik Peterson
• Mimi Schmidt
• Mike Zaino
• Scott Bossman
• Tate Litchfield
• Scott Todd

With percentages all over the board, Mimi came out the clear winner at a 40% open rate...which raised some eyebrows among the group. Find out the technique she implemented in advance to get such a high percentage...a method Mike dubbed, The Nancy Drew technique and took notes for next years campaign.

Sales were great for Tate, he may not have got 40% open rate, but he did sell all of the properties he had listed for just under 65,000 worth of enterprise! Not too bad for a day’s work!

“Don’t be upset, don’t be discouraged, you've got to consistently show up. If you ran a Black Friday or Cyber Monday campaign and you didn’t have the results you wanted, learn from them. Look at what you could do differently, make changes. There is no secret formula or recipe to marketing, you've got to try everything multiple times and learn from it every single week.” -Tate

The team also talks over:

• Standing out in a noisy Black Friday marketplace when everyone’s email is inundated with deals
• Nurturing your list

Then, Scott Todd shares his two-step process that will ensure your emails aren’t getting sent straight to the spam folder. It was a process that left everyone with their mouths open and taking notes!

“Do this two-part email process, you know it's going to be delivered and then you're going to really spike up your open rates and start approaching Mimi numbers.So if you’re listening to this, please implement that even if you have a small list. It's just a good habit to get into and I think it makes it even more intentional with your list as well because at the end of the day that is your best asset. Spending that little extra time increasing your deliver-ability and increasing your open rates can make a huge difference to the bottom line.” -Mark
