How much tech growth quietly comes from smart email instead of flashy launches?
This blog looks at why IT campaigns get millions of opens but few leads, and how simple, focused systems turn inbox attention into real revenue.
📧 How Email Really Fuels Tech Company Success
New data from Sopro shows that Computing and IT email campaigns generate 3.09 million engagements, yet only 1.32% of those engagements become leads. This article explores why tech firms see huge top-of-funnel interest but struggle to turn inbox attention into reliable revenue.
Key Takeaways:
- 📈 Engagement Without Conversion: Computing and IT campaigns lead with 3.09 million engagements, yet only 1.32% convert, revealing a persistent gap between attention and revenue.
- ⏱️ Seconds to Win Attention: Readers spend fewer than nine seconds on an email, and half open on mobile, so long layouts and unclear asks quickly lose attention.
- 🎯 Look Past Open Rates: Rising open rates reflect tracking quirks, so tech marketers prioritize clicks, replies, and personalization that can lift revenue by 10 to 15%.
- 📊 Email as a Growth Engine: Automated journeys, strong benchmarks, and roughly $36 ROI per $1 spent show that thoughtful email remains a powerful growth driver.
