Pricing and quotation guide
Email campaign reporting cost
Reporting may have two parts to its cost: a one-off setup and an ongoing fee. Setup covers agreeing measures, configuring link tagging and connecting your email platform, website analytics and shop so results can be traced. The ongoing fee depends on how often reports are produced, how much detail they contain, whether results are broken down by segment and whether each report includes recommendations. A monthly summary for one platform costs far less than weekly reports across several brands.
We look at setup and ongoing costs, report depth, pricing approaches, comparing quotes and when reporting is worth paying for.

Ask whether checking that tagged visits arrive correctly is part of the setup fee.
Report depth compared
| Option | Contents | Relative cost |
|---|---|---|
| Basic monthly | Headline measures and one comparison | Lower |
| Standard | Check after each send plus monthly review with actions | Moderate |
| Detailed | Segment results, link detail, quarterly trend analysis | Higher |
The setup fee
Setup is where most of the effort goes at the start: agreeing which measures matter for each email type, writing a tagging guide, configuring the email platform to add tags, connecting analytics and shop data, and checking the first campaigns arrive correctly. If tracking on your website is broken or missing, fixing it may be quoted separately. Once setup is done, regular reports are quicker to produce.

Comparing quotes
Check which data sources are connected, whether tagging is set up and tested, how often reports arrive, whether segment results are included, whether recommendations are part of every report and where reports and dashboards are saved. Two quotes that look similar may differ greatly in whether you receive numbers or advice.
Example: setup only for a small team
Illustrative example — not a client case study
Situation: A dog groomer sends one email a month and has a team member happy to read reports.
- Setup covers tagging, a connection to the booking system and a saved monthly report.
- A short session shows the team member how to read it.
- A quarterly review is booked as an optional extra.
What this shows: Costs stayed low and bookings from each email became visible. This example is illustrative.
When reporting is worth paying for
Reporting pays for itself when it changes what you do: dropping sections nobody clicks, sending at better times, spotting a complaint spike early or showing which offers drive sales. If you send rarely and would not change anything based on the numbers, a basic setup your team can read may be enough.
Reading reports yourself
Your email platform may include built-in reports on clicks, unsubscribes and complaints. With link tagging set up, your analytics can show visits and sales. A one-off setup with a short training session can give your team what it needs without an ongoing fee.
Several brands or lists
If you send from several brands, platforms or lists, each adds data sources, tagging checks and report sections. Ask whether the quote is per brand or covers them all, and whether results will be combined into one view or kept separate. Combined reports are easier to read but take more work to set up.
A trial period
Agree a three-month trial before committing longer, so you can judge whether the reports change what you do.
