Why do the 1000 largest online shops use 66 different email marketing platforms?

As part of the “German E-Commerce Market 2019” study, we examined whether and how Germany's thousands of largest online shops engage in email marketing. Although email marketing is a technology that has been established for years, there is no consolidated market and little change in the tools used. Although we were able to identify 66 different email service providers, there are a few top dogs among them: The ten most-used platforms serve 76% of the online shops examined, the 20 most common even 88%. In 2019, there were eleven new entrants compared to the previous year's study, which covered 2.3% of the email service provider market segment examined.

Website analysis tools for B2B companies: Who tracks better?

When identifying B2B website visitors, the IP dial-in address of the visiting organization is tracked via a script and broken down to the specific organization via reverse DNS lookup and matching with a company database. This gives marketing and sales a precise overview of which company individual contacts visited their own website. Younger providers for company identification obtain their tracking data via the Google Analytics API and automatically compare it with freely available data sources such as LinkedIn.

Germany's favorite email service 2019

The Publicare email study evaluated 13 million email subscriptions last year. It shows that the trend away from German providers is continuing. There is still little movement in the ranking of providers, but the underlying trends show a slow but steady revolution. Never change a running system, it is said in IT. In the age of digitization and constant change, this is becoming increasingly rare — users only stick to one thing for a long time, sometimes for life: the good old e-mail address.

Email marketers are likely to have gone through more extreme feelings and worlds of thought — as can be seen from the subject lines.
