** master list and customer lists
| **Category** | **Master List** | **Customer List** |
|--------------------|----------------------------------|----------------------------------|
| **Definition** | A **complete, centralized** database that includes **all leads, prospects, and customers**. | A **subset of the Master List** that includes **only active or past customers**. |
| **Who is Included?** | Leads, prospects, trial users, former customers, and active customers. | Only paying customers or users who have completed a transaction. |
| **Purpose** | Manages all potential and existing customer relationships. | Tracks sales, support, and retention efforts. |
| **Data Points** | Name, email, phone, purchase intent, engagement, lead score, sales interactions. | Purchase history, last purchase date, total spend, subscription status. |
| **Use Cases** | Marketing, outreach, lead nurturing, upselling. | Sales tracking, customer service, loyalty programs. |
*** Key Takeaways
- **Master List** = Everyone (Leads + Prospects + Customers).
- **Customer List** = Only Paying Customers
- The **Master List** helps in marketing, lead nurturing, and sales
- The **Customer List** helps in tracking retention, loyalty, and customer service.
*** Flow Table
| **Source** | **Destination** | **Conversion Rate** |
|------------------------|---------------------------------|----------------------------------|
| Master List | Shopify / Wix (E-commerce) | 5-30% open rate, 5% click rate |
| Master List | YouTube (High-Traffic Videos) | 5-30% open rate, 5% click rate |
| Master List | Streaming Platforms | No data provided |
| Streaming Platforms | YouTube (High-Traffic Videos) | No data provided |
| YouTube | Shopify / Wix (E-commerce) | 1-5% click rate |
| Shopify / Wix | Email Opt-in / DTC Sales | No data provided |
| Email Opt-in | Master List | 20-80%+ conversion rate |
*** Are These Numbers Realistic?
**** Master List → Shopify/Wix (5-30% open, 5% click)
- These numbers are within the expected range. The average email open rate is typically *15-25%*, and a *5% click rate is standard*.
**** Master List → YouTube (5-30% open, 5% click)
- The open rate is realistic, but *YouTube click-through rates are usually lower*. A *5% click-through rate is high* for directing traffic to a YouTube video.
**** Master List → Streaming
- No data was provided, but *click-through rates for music streaming tend to be lower* than e-commerce.
**** Streaming → YouTube
- No data was provided, but *direct conversions from streaming platforms to YouTube would likely be low* unless explicitly promoted.
**** YouTube → Shopify/Wix (1-5% click-through)
- These numbers are reasonable. Standard YouTube link click-through rates for e-commerce are typically *0.5-3%*, but an engaged audience can push it higher.
**** Shopify/Wix → Email Opt-in
- This is expected, as most e-commerce platforms *collect emails at checkout* or through promotional offers.
**** Email Opt-in → Master List (20-80% conversion)
- The range is too broad. If this refers to *adding collected emails to the Master List*, then *80%+ is reasonable*.
- If this means *converting email subscribers into customers*, then *20-80% is too optimistic*.
- Typical customer conversion rates from email marketing are *1-10%*, not *80%*.
