Insights from the Data & Marketing Association\u2019s head of insight, Tim Bond, reveals email attitudes and behaviours among demographics over 45 years old<\/h2>\n

The technological world that we live and work in continues to evolve, seemingly offering new ways to engage customers at every turn. But this excitement over what\u2019s new should not distract marketers from the central channel that still resonates with consumers.<\/p>\n

Whether they\u2019re considering a purchase, have just made one or need some help, these latest figures highlight email\u2019s ability to help brands engage across the customer journey.<\/p>\n

The DMA\u2019s \u2018Consumer Email Tracker 2020<\/a>\u2019 research revealed that email remains a core channel to attract and engage customers throughout the entire customer journey.<\/p>\n

It remains the preferred channel for consumers from pre- to post-purchase and for customer service enquiries.<\/p>\n

This is in spite of findings from the DMA\u2019s \u2018Customer Engagement: Acquisition and the Consumer Mindset<\/a>\u2019 report, which found that social media had overtaken email for the first time among customers aged 18- to 24-years-old.<\/p>\n

Our latest analysis and infographics reveal how different age groups respond to email marketing, with a focus on mature cohorts.<\/p>\n

\"Email<\/p>\n

When it comes to checking their personal inbox, most customers across the 45-65+ cohort do so at least once a day.<\/p>\n

Most of these customers use Gmail as their primary personal email address. When asked about the device they use most often to access their personal emails, in general, all these age groups prefer to use their computer, rather than their mobile.<\/p>\n

Opposite results were found across younger cohorts, who prefer small screens (from mobile to smartwatches). There is a dramatic increase (73%) in desktop preference among those over 65 years old compared to younger cohort members - 61% (55-64yrs) and 48% (45-54yrs).<\/p>\n

\"Smartphone<\/p>\n

Customers\u2019 device preference is also mirrored in the actions they undertake when receiving marketing emails from brands on their mobile.<\/p>\n

Those aged 45-54, prefer more direct options, such as visiting the shop or the website (35%). On the other hand, customers aged 65+ would use a computer (45%) or tablet (13%) before undertaking any further steps.<\/p>\n

The middle group, 55-64, is fairly split between the two options (28% computer \u2013 31% tablet).<\/p>\n

\"Email<\/p>\n

44% among those aged 55-64 and 48% of those over 65 years of age, declared that GDPR
\ndidn\u2019t make them more confident about how brands treat their personal information.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, consumers aged 45+ are significantly more likely to report \u2018Often\u2019 wondering how brands got their email address, and this percentage increases with age.<\/p>\n

The future for email is bright, but challenges remain<\/h3>\n

As an industry, we must address these key areas to retain email\u2019s position as the central
\nthread around which a multi-channel experience can be built.<\/p>\n

That means using the data available to us, to think strategically and ask \u201cwhy?\u201d a little more often, and a dash of creativity to execute campaigns that will fully engage. It\u2019s in this mix that truly intelligent marketing is born.<\/p>\n

In an era of mass personalization and technological innovation, we need to demonstrate that the data consumers share is used to serve them better.<\/p>\n

An area of change that we may witness in the next few years could see businesses offering
\nrecipients more control of their data and increased preference options \u2013 to help marketers
\nfind a better balance of email sending frequency and relevance.<\/p>\n

It is important to remember that responsible and innovative data use can build consumer
\ntrust and a willingness to share insights \u2013 creating better opportunities for both the business and the customer.<\/p>\n

Embedding this customer-centric mindset into organizational culture can help further cement email\u2019s position as a powerful channel that belongs at the heart of brand communications.<\/p>\n
