• Click through Rate
Click through rate is actually a data that tells you about the customer response and lets you know how many of them clicked on your link in the email. CTR tells you about how gripping your offer and the email messages are. This is why you are suggested to keep experimenting with different offers, call-to-action, subject line and timing to perk up your CTR.
• Unsubscribe Rate
It is not a very reliable metric as many times users simply stop opening your e-mails instead of going ahead and unsubscribing to it. That is why you do not get the clear picture about how many active users you still have as in those who still open your e-mail messages.
• Conversion Rate
It is one of the best metric that tells you about how effective your email campaign is. Higher conversion rate implies that how compelling and relevant your offer was for the customers. But you also need to consider the factors other than your email message while talking about the efficacy of your offer such as the landing page. Try experimenting with different landing pages based on the customers’ response. To measure conversion rate you need to integrate your email platform and your marketing analytics.
The way you can nurture your contact other than via emails is through communicating with your leads via social media or other platforms customers use. This is why you are suggested to start thinking about behavior-based communications depending on your leads and campaign performance.
