Email Campaigns

Effective subject lines follow these key principles:

• Clarity & Relevance: Be clear about what's inside and why it matters to the recipient. Vague subject lines might generate curiosity but often lead to disappointment if the content doesn't deliver.
• Conciseness: Keep subject lines under 50 characters to ensure they display fully on mobile devices. Front-load the most important information since many mobile clients show only 30-40 characters.
• Personalization: Include the recipient's name or reference their specific interests when appropriate. Personalized subject lines can increase open rates by 26% compared to generic ones.
• Action-Oriented: Use action verbs that encourage opening and engagement. Clear action phrases create a sense of purpose and direction.
• Urgency/Scarcity: When authentic, create a sense of timeliness or limited availability. Avoid false urgency as it damages trust over time.
• Curiosity Gap: Create intrigue by hinting at valuable information without giving everything away. This approach works best when the email content fully delivers on the intrigue.
• Value Proposition: Clearly communicate the benefit of opening the email. What will the recipient gain from reading your message?

A/B testing subject lines is one of the most effective ways to continuously improve open rates and discover what resonates with your specific audience. We recommend testing different approaches systematically while maintaining your brand voice and credibility.

We evaluate email performance across multiple metrics, both technical and business-focused:

• Delivery & Open Rates: Measure successful inbox placement and subject line effectiveness. Industry average open rates range from 15-25%, though this varies by sector and has been affected by Apple's Mail Privacy Protection.
• Click-Through Rates: Indicate content relevance and call-to-action effectiveness. Average CTRs typically range from 2-5%, with higher rates indicating particularly compelling content or offers.
• Conversion Rates: Track desired actions completed after email engagement, whether purchases, sign-ups, downloads, or other goals. This connects email performance directly to business outcomes.
• Revenue Attribution: Measure direct and influenced revenue from email campaigns, including immediate purchases and future conversions within your attribution window.
• List Growth & Health: Monitor subscription rates, unsubscribes, and overall engagement patterns to assess your audience growth and quality over time.
• Engagement Over Time: Track how subscribers engage with your emails throughout their lifecycle, identifying patterns that indicate increased interest or potential disengagement.
• Comparative Performance: Benchmark your metrics against industry standards, your historical performance, and between different campaign types to identify strengths and improvement areas.

We provide comprehensive reporting on these metrics and help you interpret trends to continuously improve campaign performance. Our approach focuses not just on open and click rates but on connecting email performance to tangible business results like revenue, lead generation, and customer retention.
