How many emails are sent every day? Statistics, extrapolations and counting by Radicati Group from Aug 2008 estimate the number of emails sent per day (in 2008) to be around 183 billion.
183 billion email per day is approx 2 million emails every second. About 72% of them are spam. Genuine emails are sent by around 1.3 billion email users.
With email being one of (if not the) most widely used forms of communication today, it also makes it one of the easiest and lowest cost methods of communicating with your customers. But with so many emails flying around and the constant exposure to spam and junk mail how can you be sure your bulk emails are going to get though to existing and potential customers.?
DID YOU KNOW... A bulk emailer is classified as someone sending more than 200 emails in an hour, or sending a single email to more than 20 people at the same time. Many ISP's and hosting companies will throttle or even block your emails if they consider you to be a bulk emailer. If you are going to have mailing list and run an email marketing campaign it needs to be done properly or you run the risk of your email address or domain being 'blacklisted' for spamming - commercially very dangerous for any business of any size. |
