For new business owners, establishing brand awareness, launching new products and standing apart from competition is no easy task. Marketers at emerging brands are inherently time poor and often operate on shoestring budgets, so breaking into crowded markets and reaching consumers is a considerable challenge. Hiring marketing staff or third-party advertising agencies is an expensive investment and a luxury for most SMBs, so how can new brands make a big splash given their limited bandwidth and resources?

Did you know that – statistically speaking- email marketing has shown a significantly better ROI compared to other marketing channels? According to a survey conducted by Direct Marketing Association and Demand Metric, email had an ROI of nearly 122%, whereas other channels such as social media had just 28%. Interestingly enough, the majority of companies that achieved this ROI were using what are called email marketing services. Email marketing services are tools that help business owners and marketers create, send, test, optimise, track and report on the performance of their email marketing campaigns.

Contact center Key Performance Indicator (KPIs) are used by SMB and enterprise companies to make better business decisions and improve the customer experience. Also called metrics, KPIs are the measurable values that show just how effective your business is at achieving its goals.
In our last couple blogs, we touched upon the top agent KPIs and team KPIs that your contact center should be tracking. We also covered the real-time metrics that supervisors use on a daily basis to monitor the status and productivity of their agents.
This time, we’ll check out some of the most used services metrics that show how your services are doing. A service is a specific reason for customers to initiate an interaction with a contact center, or, in the case of outbound dialing, for a contact center to initiate an interaction with a customer. In the contact center space, a service typically means the type of channel that connects the customer to the business: voice, email, chat, and so on.
