Run Your Own Email Campaign INTRODUCTION

This course is designed to teach you how to run your own email marketing campaign. As part of the Coursera Google Digital Marketing & E-commerce Professional Certificate, you will learn how to create, manage, track and complete a mock email marketing campaign. You will be given a fictional business example on which to base your campaign. This course provides all the strategies, tools, and tricks to complete the campaign successfully.

The course structure consists of setting SMART goals for your campaign, segmenting your email list, and completing an email series. At the end of the course, you will have completed the campaign and analyzed its results. These results can then be presented to stakeholders as evidence that the email marketing strategy was effective.

Learning Objectives

  • Create an email marketing strategy, including contact management and segmentation.
  • Test, execute, and optimize an email marketing campaign.

ACTIVITY: ANALYZE EMAIL CAMPAIGN METRICS

1. One of your campaign goals is to add 12,000 new subscribers by the end of September. Taking into account the subscribers added since April, when will you meet this goal if you continue to add 2,000 each month?

  • September
  • October (Correct)
  • November
  • December

By August 31, you have a total of 8,663 new subscribers. If you add 2,000 additional subscribers in September, you will still need more than 1,300 subscribers to reach your goal.

2. Which KPI can tell you about the performance of the referral email designed to build your subscriber list?

  • Bounce rate
  • Revenue
  • Emails sent
  • Forward rate (Correct)

Correct: The forward rate of the referral email can tell you what percentage of subscribers are sharing the email with others.

3. One of your campaign goals was to increase the average monthly conversion rate from 5% at the end of June to 7% by the end of December. The average monthly conversion rate increased by 0.25% in both July and August. If this rate of growth holds steady, when will you meet your conversion rate goal? 

  • November
  • December
  • January
  • February (Correct)

Correct: If the conversion rate continues to rise 0.25% each month, you will reach 7% in February. This puts you one month behind schedule for the conversion goal.

4. Which of the following metrics have a significant impact on the monthly conversion rate? Select all that apply.

  • Click-to-open rate (CTOR) (Correct)
  • Bounce rate
  • Open rate (Correct)
