Sponsored Emails for Furniture Manufacturers

//Staff Editors//May 18, 2022

What are Sponsored Emails?

Sponsored or co-branded emails are a popular marketing tactic for furniture manufacturers. They enable you to contact people on the mailing lists of other organizations so you can deliver your email marketing message to their audiences.

4 Reasons Why Sponsored Emails Matter for Furniture Manufacturers

Email is a great digital marketing tactic. It is ubiquitous, cost-effective, and delivers excellent impact. Consider:

  •     More people use email than any other media, including social media (1)
  •     Almost 100% of furniture retailer decision-makers use email (2)
  •     82% of business people also check their work email outside of work hours (3)
  •     Engaged email recipients are actively seeking information and ideas

Growing Your Audience with Sponsored Emails

With sponsored email, you can leverage a partner’s existing relationships and brand credibility to connect with more furniture retailer prospects. Instead of painstakingly building your mailing list over months and years, you can deliver your message to the list of another company that already has relationships with people who can become new customers.

For example, FurnitureToday offers sponsored email programs that deliver both broad and highly targeted furniture retailer decision-maker audiences. Our database includes senior executives from all of the top 100 furniture retailers and 70%+ of the entire industry. Further, if a more specific audience is appropriate for your marketing strategy, we can drill down and focus your emails in a particular region like North Carolina or New England. 

Things to Consider When Looking for a Sponsored Email Supplier

The most important consideration is the quality and depth of the relationship between the provider and its audience. Work with companies where email recipients have opted-in to receive marketing messages, so they are more likely to read and value them. Then ensure the provider can provide all of the critical business metrics you need to understand and measure marketing effectiveness.

  •     Audience characteristics
  •     Emails sent
  •     Count of emails opened
  •     Percentage of emails opened
  •     Count of emails clicked
  •     Percentage of emails clicked
  •     Count of email clickers that leave a lead on your site
  •     Percentage of email clickers that leave a lead on your site

There is a vast range of quality in email lists and sponsored emails, from highly reputable providers to spammers. Find a partner that understands the needs and motivations of furniture retailers. Ask them how they get people to opt-in, the nature of their relationship with recipients and ask about email delivery rates – that’s the number of people who receive the email in their inbox.

Be sure to leverage your partner’s experience and knowledge. Talk to them about the kind of creative and messages that drive the best engagement rates with their audience. Use this information to make your marketing materials even better. Ask them what days work best for getting people to open and interact with emails. It matters! Also, consider how the emails they send for you will appear on mobile screens. In the US, most emails are opened on mobile phones, and almost three-quarters of email “clicks” or “taps” happen on mobile.
