Use the Online

Consumer Purchasing Model, Figure 6.11 in Chapter 6, to assess the

effectiveness of an e-mail campaign at a small website devoted to the

sales of apparel to the young adult market (ages 18–26) in the United

States. Assume a marketing campaign of 100,000 e-mails (at $0.25 per

e-mail address). The expected click-through rate is 5%, the customer

conversion rate is 10%, and the loyal customer retention rate is 25%.

The average sale is $60, and the profit margin is 50% (the cost of the

goods is $30).

• Does the campaign produce a profit?
• What advice could you provide in order to increase the number of purchases and loyal customers?
• What do you think could be some web design factors that contribute to the success of the site or reduce its success?
• What types of messages might improve the possible effectiveness of the website in terms of generating sales?

Write a paper of approximately 3 pages that discusses the questions above.
