How to calculate the total cost of an email marketing campaign?

The total cost of an email marketing campaign can be calculated by summing up various cost components, including the cost per email, content development costs, platform costs, and any additional costs. The formula to calculate the total cost (T) is:

Total Cost (T) is given by:

§§ T = (E \times C) + D + P + A §§

where:

  • § T § — total cost of the campaign
  • § E § — number of emails sent
  • § C § — cost per email
  • § D § — content development cost
  • § P § — platform cost
  • § A § — additional costs

This formula allows marketers to understand the financial implications of their email campaigns and make informed decisions.

Example:

  • Emails Sent (§ E §): 1000
  • Cost per Email (§ C §): $0.05
  • Content Development Cost (§ D §): $200
  • Platform Cost (§ P §): $100
  • Additional Costs (§ A §): $50

Total Cost:

§§ T = (1000 \times 0.05) + 200 + 100 + 50 = 300 §§
