2. Three seconds to get
noticed INSIDE your
Prospects & Customers
INBOX
Every day your prospects and customers’ inboxes are flooded with competitor emails. The
average B2B inbox receives 185 messages per day (67,525 messages annually); the
average consumer receives 85 messages per day (31,025 messages annually). Typically,
a commercial email has a maximum of just 7 seconds to make an impact - 3 seconds to
get noticed and a further 4 seconds to generate a response. Getting your message
noticed above the clutter is more critical than ever before. But to do this effectively you
need to know exactly what the competition is doing.
The current way of measuring email success, using metrics such as deliverables, opens
and clicks etc is no longer sufficient if you want to win the battle for the inbox. To gain the
competitive advantage you must also measure creativity, design and content.
Who’s sending what, when and how often?
Up to date email marketing intelligence is the key to running a successful e-marketing
campaign. Knowing what messages your competitors are sending enables you to analyse
rival campaigns, make informed decisions on your own offers and take inspiration and
ideas from other email marketers.
The speed and reach of email has revolutionised the way the world does business. Yet
unlike conventional advertising, email marketing is extremely difficult to monitor because it
uses ‘push’ technology - i.e. unlike websites or blogs, once it leaves the broadcast system
it disappears instantly from the internet into the inbox, rarely to be seen again. Email slips
in beneath the radar, and so far there has been no reliable way of getting an up-to-date
view of your industry’s e-marketing output.
Every day businesses are sending out thousands of emails. But the only way to find out
what they are emailing would be to sign up for every email subscription and then spend
countless hours going through them all to sift out the relevant information. An impossible
task - until now...

“Every now and then a new service comes along that can genuinely help with creating
effective campaigns. Up until now we have been able to monitor other brands’ advertising
both creatively and by expenditure. We can also watch and learn from what they are
doing on the social networks. But InboxVision has opened us up a whole new dimension.
This new monitoring tool lets us see what brands are doing with their email campaigns.
This is a revolution in the market. How better to learn and improve our own email
communication copy and strategy than by seeing what our clients’ competitors are doing
and what they are doing most of and in real time. It won’t cut the sweat of our own
creativity, but it will show us some very good indicators.”

6. How InboxVision Analyser will help you gain a
competitive advantage and grow your business
InboxVision Analyser is a global searchable database of millions of B2B & B2C
email campaigns
Keep one step ahead of the competition - 24/7/365
InboxVision Analyser enables you to track, search and analyse your industry’s leading
companies and their brands along with your competitors’ email campaigns and gain a
complete 360 degree view of the email marketing activity in your sector, all from one
intuitive, easy-to-use online portal. It is a must-have tool for marketers, brand and product
managers, marketing agencies, email service providers, affiliates and any business that
uses email marketing.
View all the latest email marketing ideas, designs and content in your sector in
real-time
By analysing the emails of the leading players in your industry, we do all the hard work for
you. Identify patterns and repetitions in email campaigns to establish what is – and what
isn’t – working. Study their key messaging, analyse offers, headlines, subject lines, copy,
creative, product positioning, pricing structures and terms of business to gain a critical
insight into their core marketing strategies. Discover the latest email marketing trends in
real-time as they happen and apply the best-of-breed ideas to your own campaigns.
Search for and analyse key words, phrases and specified data
For example, if you want to know whether a marketer has used the word ‘free’, mentioned
a specific product in their emails or whether they collect demographic information at
registration, all you need do is check the stats. It’s simple, flexible and tailored to respond
to the exact needs of your business.
See only what you want to see and nothing more
InboxVision Analyser enables you to filter our email database by subject, date, Alexa rank,
company, colour, subject, industry and more. View the time and day of the week an email
was sent. Filter specific content – including cross-selling, up-selling, time-sensitive and
special offers; gain an in-depth insight into how leading brands are integrating social media
channels and apply this to your own campaigns. Look back at past email marketing
activity, including visual message comparisons, or run a competitive analysis of an email
campaign over a specified period. Each filter can be saved for future use. You can also
share the filtered information and collaborate with your colleagues using our innovative
“lightbox” facility.
7. View the email open-rates of the leading players in your industry
Identify the most successful offers in your marketplace. We link our email data to the Alexa
web ranking index, enabling you to see at a glance the open-rate of other marketers’ email
campaigns by comparing broadcast times with spikes in traffic to the target website.
Monitor and analyse your industry marketing calendar
Monitor your industry’s seasonal e-marketing calendars – e.g. what promotions are they
sending out for bank holidays, back to school, Mother’s Day, half term, Christmas - the list
goes on! Are they repeating the same or a similar offer from last year? Filter by industry
and holiday date range.

10. “I was genuinely impressed with this new product. In an age when email marketing is
becoming increasing difficult to gain results this product is ideal for perfecting the finer
points of a company’s email strategy.
Every company needs to keep an eye on their competitors; to learn from what they are
doing well (or not) and to keep competitive in the market. This monitoring tool allows you
to do just that. You can see what offers and promotions are being sent out or new products
that are being released and mould the positive factors into your own marketing strategy.
I have previously tried to keep up with competitors’ email strategies but have never been
able to do it effectively or time efficiently. Using this monitoring tool overcomes both these
problems; it organises the data in an easy to access system and cuts out the time the
whole process would have taken to do manually.”
