About Email Subscriber Value
Dividing a year of email-attributed revenue by list size values the channel per subscriber, and the monthly figure makes it comparable to paid acquisition. An owned email list compounds value with every list-quality improvement, so tracking value per subscriber justifies investing in capture and cleaning.
