On Panoramata, we gather marketing data on DTC Ecommerce brands. On this page, we freely make some of this data available for Bed Bath & Beyond.
They have a good email marketing strategy - if we look at their Average Spam score, it's excellent - being at -18 (it is basically a measure of how likely an email is to be considered spam by a spam filter. The higher the score, the more likely the email is to be considered spam.). But they seem less performant regarding to subject lines - Emails usually have a better open rate while keeping the subject lenght below 36. Here, as it's 66 characters, they're doing bad, as on average it's way too long - they should at least divide it by 2.
If we take a look at their Ecommerce Marketing Stack, the main Email Marketing software (or ESP) they're using seems to be Responsys .
Fun fact - they're using emojis in 43.54% of their emails - the main ones they use are ❗ ⏳ 🔵 ☕ 📢 🎁.
On Panoramata, we gather and analyze the entire Bed Bath & Beyond email marketing strategy - along with other brands from the Home industry. Amongst their last emails sent, two of them were 'Discount confirmed: You've snagged yourself a 20% off COUPON!' and 'We've got you covered with 6 gift ideas for Father's Day!'.
One interesting note as well, about their whole domain reputation and SEO - their Authority Domain Ranking is 87 on https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/. This is excellent - and hard to achieve, as it takes time, consistent SEO work and a solid SEO strategy.
In today’s competitive markets, we believe that benchmarking is key, as it allows you to deploy your marketing efforts more efficiently. This is why we built this library.
Average subject length
What about
Bed Bath & Beyond
then?
With their average of
66
characters, they're above the limit and should consider to shorten their subject line. Here's one good reason - usuallyy, subject lines that long are not shown entirely on email clients on desktop or mobile. And what's good on saying something that will never be read?
Stay short!
characters, they're right within the sweet spot, which is good! It basically says that you have enough characters to express yourself, but at the same time it will show up entirely on email clients. Just the right amount of characters you want for your own brand!
characters, which is rare - but it means that they have actually more space to express themselves and share their brand values.
Why does this matter? Well, for open rates. Keep it short - on average, you should aim for 16 characters. We consider that above 12 is good, and below 24 is great.
Average email size
Why does this matter? Well, for open rates as well - and especially to avoid the Promotions tab and to be less categorized as spam. The lower, the best.
Average spam score
We use Spam Assassin, the main platform used by email providers to score spam. Below 0, you're safe ie. not considered as spam. Below -2, you're great. If you're above 0, you'll likely to be categorized as spam.
So,
Bed Bath & Beyond
gets a score of
-18.0
. What does that mean exactly for their email marketing strategy ?
Well, as stated, it's good! Any score below 0 generally means that the email will not be categorized as spam, especially the ones below -2 - it's a great score, one you want to keep because it helps a lot the deliverability of your emails!
It's good! It means that their email are not headed to the spam folder. However, a score below -2 would be considered even better.
Well, "oops". It's not that good, they're at a level where it could impact their email deliverability.
Does it means they're in the spam folder every time? No. The considered treshhold to be considered spam 100% of the time depends on a lot of factor (generally, consider that a score of 5 means that you end up there every time). Being between 0 and 5 means that it could happen though.

There are several ways to use social proof in your ecommerce emails. We’ve divided them into three categories: social proof from customers, from renowned figures, and your brand.
Email marketing is effective not just because of the volume of mails sent and received or because of the number of users; it’s also because email marketing is one of the very few marketing channels left that actually brings in results. To create an effective email marketing strategy, first you need to start building your list, create a calendar, segment your list, optimize your subject lines and creatives, implement automation and email flows, develop a good sending frequency, and monitor your ROI regularly.
Social media may have gained popularity and influence over the past decade but ecommerce brands should still build a solid email marketing strategy. It’s a big piece of the puzzle in marketing an ecommerce direct-to-consumer business because it’s a highly effective lead-generation tool that builds rapport with your customers and drives sales. In this article, we’ll cover what email marketing is, why it’s crucial for DTC ecommerce brands, and the 30 most effective email marketing campaigns you should be running ASAP.
