Service Overview

A fully managed campaign — from audience build to report.

eBroadcast is not a list you purchase. We use our live database of 800,000+ coaches and administrators to build your audience, execute the send, and report back on every metric.

01

Audience targeting

Service Layer

We filter the database by your criteria: sport, level, state, position, gender program, and more. You get the exact audience — not an approximation.

02

SPAM and junk check

Service Layer

Your creative is tested through spam filters before any email is sent. Issues are flagged and resolved before delivery.

03

Seed email testing

Service Layer

We send test emails through seed accounts to validate rendering across email clients — desktop, mobile, dark mode — before the live send.

04

Managed delivery

Service Layer

We handle the send from our dedicated infrastructure. No risk of your domain reputation being damaged by a bulk send.

05

Bounce management

Service Layer

Hard bounces and unsubscribes are removed from the delivery list automatically. Your report reflects clean numbers.

06

Full post-campaign reporting

Service Layer

You receive a complete delivery report: emails sent, delivered, bounced, and opened. Returned within a defined window after send date.

800,000+ verified coaches and administrators.

Pricing

Pay only for what is delivered.

eBroadcast campaigns are priced per thousand delivered emails — not per thousand sent. Bounces and undeliverables do not count against your invoice.

Email Campaigns

Managed Email Campaigns

Email Broadcast to available emails of selected contacts. CWCD (Clell Wade Coaches Directory) does not release or furnish these emails to its clients.

CWCD Email Product Plan

Minimum order amount is $500.

  • Base rate

    $175/thousand for email broadcast

  • Includes

    2 selects

  • Additional selects

    +$10/thousand

  • Minimum order

    $500

CWCD invoices you for the total emails sent/received. A report of this total is generated approximately 21 days after the broadcast. This allows “soft bounces” (emails not received because of full in-boxes, DNS or server problems, etc.) to have time to be delivered.

Marketing Notes

Although emails appear to be economical solutions to Direct Mail projects, when done by themselves, they are not necessarily the best marketing strategy. 20-25% of all emails never make it through spam filters and other technologies at the ISP level. Also, if a prospect doesn't recognize your name, they will delete your email without even thinking about it.

If emails are used as a follow-up to a physical mailing or to feature products or services (e.g., as in a catalogue that was previously mailed) they can greatly increase the effectiveness of that mailing. They are also great relationship builders with clients or prospects you are already keeping in touch with through mailings.

Select costs do not apply when using email in conjunction to an existing DM list. Those selects will be based on that companion list.

Pricing

  • Formatting cost to set up and format emails to include CAN-Spam info (for example, Address info, Opt-out, and Forward links)$100
  • Text Version of the Email if not already provided$50
  • “Design work” if CWCD does the designing (price applies per email)$100/hour
  • Personalization fields (up to 2 fields added per this item)+$10/thousand

Email templates must be accompanied by their associated images files.

Reporting

  • Classic ReportsNo charge
  • Complex ProfilesSee your Sales Rep for pricing information
  • Hot Leads — Contact Records (including emails) for Opens and Click-throughs$395/thousand

Terms

  • Existing clients15 days from the date of invoice to pay
  • New customersDeposit based on 50% of the invoice of the estimated delivered emails

Email Append Service

We can append available email addresses to your customer records. CWCD recommends this be done once every 18 months. See your Sales Consultant for pricing information.

FAQ

Common questions about Email Campaigns.

You are charged based on the number of emails that successfully reach a recipient's inbox — not the number sent. Hard bounces and undeliverables are excluded from your invoice. This means you are paying for genuine delivery, not just attempted sends.
