Email Distribution

One in five emails fails to reach the inbox, according to a recent study by Return Path. Email service providers monitor

The more subscribers engage with your emails—by reading them, clicking links, or moving them to folders for later—the more likely your messages are to reach

the inbox in the future. Internet and email service providers look for this kind of positive email engagement. And, of course, it’s what you

that meets their needs.

Understanding Customer Engagement

Since getting your messages into the inbox depends in part on customer engagement—and increasing that engagement is what we want—it’s helpful to understand how it works. Email service providers determine

the type of customer engagement based on readers’ positive and sometimes negative responses to the email messages

they receive. They look at actions such as rating, replying to, or forwarding a message as indicators of how engaged readers are and how much they interact with the content you provide,

and therefore of the content’s value. Marking a message as “not spam” indicates that the reader took the time to find it in the

spam folder. Meanwhile, actions such as filing a complaint or deleting a message without reading it are considered negative engagement. One action classified as a complaint is marking

calculate your metrics by averaging these figures across several campaigns over a set period. This lets you find your average open rate

the same type with one another—for example, compare the rate of messages newsletters, Compared with similar campaigns, including their promotional email rates.

You can find these email campaign metrics in Campaign Monitor’s Trends service, which gives you the information

you need to understand exactly how readers interact with your emails. In addition to standard email statistics, you’ll find the rates for your top five campaigns and customer journeys,

as well as email delivery rates.

One metric not to overlook is the click-to-open rate (CTOR), which measures how effective your email content is and is a great indicator

of how engaged customers are with your emails. Calculate it by dividing the number of unique clicks by the number of unique opens.
