Why do email analytics matter?

Email analytics reveal what content resonates with your audience, help improve subject lines and timing, provide data to support communication strategies, and allow you to compare different messages to optimize performance.

Q: What is Open Rate in email analytics?

Open Rate shows how many people opened your email. A strong open rate means your subject line, preview text (the teaser line that shows in your inbox) and timing hit the mark.

Q: What is Click-Through Rate (CTR)?

Click-Through Rate tracks how many recipients clicked on links, buttons, or other interactive elements. A higher CTR means your message was compelling and clear.

Q: What does Time to Open measure?

Time to Open measures how long it takes recipients to open your email after it arrives in their inbox. Quick opens indicate high urgency or interest.
