    Understanding Email Metrics

    What it does

    Calculates your email open rate, click-through rate, and unsubscribe rate, then compares them against industry benchmarks.

    Why it matters

    Email open rate and CTR are key performance indicators for sales and marketing campaigns. Tracking them helps identify which approaches resonate with your audience.

    Definition

    Open Rate = (Opened / Sent) × 100. CTR = (Clicked / Opened) × 100. Unsubscribe Rate = (Unsubscribes / Sent) × 100.

    Assumptions

    • Opens are tracked via pixel or read receipt.
    • Clicks are tracked via link wrapping.
    • One campaign or list segment.

    How to interpret your results

    A high open rate (>20%) signals strong subject lines and list quality. A low CTR suggests copy or CTA optimization is needed. Unsubscribe rate >0.5% indicates potential list fatigue or misalignment.

    How to improve

    • Test subject lines

      A/B test different subject line approaches. Numbers, personalization, and urgency typically improve open rates.

    • Improve send timing

      Send emails when your audience is most engaged—typically Tuesday-Thursday, 9-11 AM.

    • Strengthen CTAs

      Make your call-to-action clear, compelling, and urgent. Use action-oriented language.
