Email Marketing for Pakistani Businesses — The Forgotten Revenue Channel
Pakistan's Email Marketing Blind Spot
Ask 100 Karachi business owners about their marketing channels and you'll hear: Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp. Ask about email marketing and you'll get a blank stare. "Yahan pe email koi check nahi karta" is the standard response. And it's completely wrong.
The data tells a different story: Pakistani professionals — the ones with purchasing power — check email multiple times daily. B2B decision-makers, corporate employees, freelancers, and entrepreneurs all live in their inbox. If you're selling services above PKR 50,000 or targeting businesses, email is your highest-ROI channel.
Email Marketing Numbers for Pakistan
- Average open rate for well-targeted Pakistani email lists: 28-35%
- Average click-through rate: 4-7%
- Cost per email sent: PKR 0.5-2 (depending on platform)
- Revenue per email subscriber per month: PKR 50-200 for product businesses, PKR 500-2000 for service businesses
