Open Rate:

It is the percentage of recipients who opened your mass email.

Open Rate is determined by things like whether the mass email is getting delivered to the recipient’s inbox, who the sender is, time of delivery, whether the subject line interests the recipient and so on.

You can optimize Open Rates by ensuring that you use a reliable email delivery solution like MassMailer. Avoid generic sender emails like hello@[YourCompany].com and always A/B test your subject line.

Clickthrough Rate:

It is the percentage of email recipients who clicked on one or more links in your email.

Clickthrough Rate (CTR) is determined by factors like whether your offering interests the recipient, the CTA button and so on. Segmenting your email list IDs ensures that your mass email matches the needs and wants of the recipient and ensures a higher CTR. You can optimize your CTA button through A/B tests to ensure they stand out from the rest of the email, are clickable and have a clear and crisp action mentioned.

Conversion Rate:

It is the percentage of email recipients who clicked on a link within your mass email and completed the desired action, such as subscribing to your newsletter, fill out a lead generation form or purchased a product.

To optimize your Conversion Rate, ensure that your landing page is relevant to what you promised in your mass email, loads fast and there are no unnecessary distractions. The easier you make it for the recipient, the better will be the conversion.

Bounce Rate:

It is the percentage of your total emails sent that could not be successfully delivered to the recipient’s inbox. There are two types of bounces: Soft Bounces and Hard Bounces. Soft bounces are the result of a temporary problem with a valid email address, such as a full inbox or a problem with the recipient’s server. The recipient’s server may hold these emails for delivery once the problem clears up, or you may try re-sending your email message to soft bounces.

Hard bounces are the result of an invalid, closed, or non-existent email address, and these emails will never be successfully delivered. You should immediately remove hard bounce addresses from your email list because internet service providers (ISPs) use bounce rates as one of the key factors to determine an email sender’s reputation.

To ensure your bounce rate is low, always use genuine methods to grow your email list and verify your email list before sending out your mass email campaign.
