JUPITER RESEARCH REPORTS THAT THE COST OF ERRONEOUSLY BLOCKED PERMISSION E-MAIL WILL BALLOON TO $419 MILLION IN 2008(New York, NY - January 27, 2004) -- Jupiter Research, a division of Jupitermedia Corporation (Nasdaq: JUPM), today announced that its latest research report finds that the cost to online marketers of permission e-mail messages being erroneously blocked as spam will balloon from $230 million in 2003 to $419 million in 2008. Due to improved ISP efforts and sender authentification systems, Jupiter Research reports the percentage of permission e-mail being erroneously blocked will decline from 17% today to just under 10% in 2008. Total spending on retention and sponsored e-mails will increase during the same period, however, which will account for the continued increase in spending wasted on e-mail that will fail to make it to consumers' inboxes. Jupiter Research recommends that marketers participate in identity-based trusted and bonded sender programs, which are cost effective measures to assist in message delivery. The largest e-mail marketers that often erroneously trip the ISPs spam alarms will be the first organizations to pay additional fees to ensure e-mail delivery.In the new report "Overcoming the Spam Effect: Maximizing E-Mail Marketing Message Delivery", Jupiter Research examines how opt-in and opt-out practices must be maximized in order to meet the e-mail filtering and disposition techniques of the major ISPs. The report explores list management tactics, address churn, delivery optimization and changes in consumers' e-mail behavior. "The increase in e-mail volume and the fact that consumers are spending less time in their inbox is creating a consumer attention deficit to permission based e-mail marketing. Despite the year-over-year increase in permission e-mail, consumers only perceive an increase in spam," said David Daniels, Research Director at Jupiter Research. The research goes on to find that the only e-mail increase consumers report is a 26% increase in spam 2003 over 2002. However, during the same time period Jupiter Research finds that permission e-mail grew at a rate of 36%, outpacing e-mail account growth and indicating that permission e-mail per active e-mail user increased. The complete findings of this report are immediately available to Jupiter Research clients online.
