Visualising Email Marketing Metrics

Area 1: Lists/Campaign Overview

• Reach

How many emails do I send out?

• Campaign Emails Open
• Campaign Emails Clicked

Area 2: Contacts Behaviour Analysis

• Subscribers

How many people subscribe to my emails? If the number is too low, make sure your pages are well-optimized to encourage more subscriptions.

• Unsubscribes & Bounces

These two widgets show you the total number of your unsubscribes and bounces. If you want to check trends over time – simply switch and get the information you need.

• Bounces & Unsubs Rate

The numbers of unsusbscribers and bounces in relation to the total number of emails sent

Area 3: Performance Review

• List/Campaign Engagement Rate

To get a general idea of your engagement numbers we display Open rate and Clicks rate within one widget.

Open Rate is the number of opened emails in relation to total emails sent

Clicks Rate is the number of clicks on links within emails in relation to total emails sent

• Performance

           You can now track your total emails sent, total Opens, Clicks, Unsubs, and

            Bounces within one widget.

ActiveCampaign

Of all of the tools, we found ActiveCampaign to be the most brainy, with best interface and smarts for automated marketing. We use ActiveCampaign ourselves and just love their automations. They also offer more data.

• Reply Rate

You can see the overall amount of replies or total replies in relation to emails sent.

• Form Performance

If you are using ActiveCampaign forms, you’ll be able to check how many people signed up via them.

• Automation Engagement

This widget includes your automation emails’ Opens and Clicks.

A more detailed ActiveCampaign guide can be found here.

SendGrid

SendGrid is slightly different. It is “customer communication platform for transactional and marketing email”. In SendGrid don’t simply makeup lists and arrange automated email send-outs. SendGrid is a great tool for cleaning up your contact lists. First, you send a request to SendGrid to send emails, then it delivers them to the accessible contacts.

Below are some of the metrics specific to SendGrid:

• Delivery Rate

This widget shows you the number of delivered emails vs. total send requests.

• Opens & Clicks

SendGrid counts Clicks and Opens in relation to the number of delivered emails

• Blocked & Invalid Emails

This is your difference between send requests and actual deliveries. You get blocked when your IP address has been blacklisted. Invalid emails stand for email addresses with formatting or some other issues, preventing SendGrid from fulfilling your send request.

• Spam Count

SendGrid allows us to track how many people treat your emails as spam or junk. Our dashboard also displays Spam in relation to the overall number of delivered emails.
