Once again you've jumped to a retarded conclusion. Even the most perfectly targeted email advertisements only achieve an open rate of about 20%, that is not a click, that is an open. It is an awful misconception that email advertising is more effective because people conflate the two so often. CTR of emails is still only about 0.5-4% depending on the industry.
And once again we're back to the same dilemma: A clickthrough does not equal a sale, it equals 9% of a sale (using our generous numbers again of course). This gives you 4.5-38 sales depending on how close you are to achieving that 4% CTR. Considering that retail advertising through emails only achieves about a 0.7% CTR that seems a little hopeful.
