Email Tracking Firm Says Rookie Mistakes May Have Resulted in High Rejection, Low Open Rates

"The campaign raised $3.3 million on Tuesday and $3.4 million yesterday," Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks told Ad Age. "Only a portion of that was via email marketing and the remainder is attributed to online donations."

Nearly 60% of those first-ever fundraiser emails, however, never reached inboxes. Instead, they were automatically relegated to recipients' spam folders, according to Return Path, which evaluates email campaigns using estimates based on its panel of 2.5 million active email users.

The email tracker also reported that just 12% of recipients opened the email and 6% deleted it without reading it.

In May, 7.9% of the emails sent by the Trump camp were caught up in spam filters, according to Return Path. Even that nearly 8% spam rate is considered very high by industry standards.

I understand that it was hardly the first time they requested donations.

It helps when you flag them as spam whenever they hit your inbox.

Did Hope go to Scotland with Roman P. Trump?

Seems that she is a little old for him.

I didn't accuse you of lying.  I said "Mechanicos posted that Trump raised 11 million."  I accused you of posting lies.  and you did.

Didn't his recent FEC filing show that he spent around $538k on digital media services?  There was also a report about him using a free mailer service.  Surrounds himself w/ the best. 

Caveat -- can't remember the exact amount but it wasn't chump change. Will look for links.

The problem here is an incorrect assumption. Your post had to do ONLY with the email. The Article I posted had to do with BOTH the email and the other fundraising for the RNC he was doing. You did know he is fund-raising for the RNC pretty much all the time now right?

From the Article:

Team Trump shrugged off the criticism and then proceeded to initiate a fundraising effort that saw a groundswell of support from backers both great and small who quickly amassed a remarkable $11 million dollars into the coffers of Team Trump and the RNC.

Trump reportedly raised at least $11 million since Tuesday
CNN, 6/23/2016,  Theodore Schleifer and Ashley Killough


Washington (CNN) — Donald Trump and his joint fundraising committee have raised at least $11 million since Tuesday morning, Republicans said Wednesday, a tremendously quick haul that comes amid concerns about his fundraising ability.

Trump Victory, the joint fundraising account with the Republican National Committee, and Trump's official campaign raised $5 million online since Tuesday morning, when it sent one of its first fundraising pitches to its email list, according to Sean Spicer, an RNC spokesman.

That does not include the $2 million that Trump himself has pledged to match in the fundraising appeal, Spicer said.

Trump has done virtually no small-dollar fundraising since launching his campaign a year ago, and is not expected to begin a full online fundraising operation until the convention.

@Once-Ler

Trump & the RNC funds are being lumped together. Trump might get a quarter of that.

From the Article:

You are correct.  The article says Team Trump and that could include RNC and PACS.  I concede the point.  Thank you for correcting me.
