Deliverability
• Deliverability measures the % emails successfully delivered or not• This is an inexact number as not all ISPs report delivered email
Your Sender’s Reputation Impacts Deliverability
• Blackbaud:– Sender Score= 70– Accepted Rate= 99.03%– Risk= Low

Open Rate
• Open Rate measures the % of opened emails that were delivered• Open Rate can only be tracked on HTML-based emails, not Text emails• Many systems block images used to track whether an email has been opened• Preview Panes can also provide false-positive open rates• The average open rate for known recipients is 19%. Your results may vary
BUT…• Just getting the message opened doesn’t mean you’re safe• A recent Email Sender and Provider Coalition (ESPC) study showed that…
– 80% of respondents decide whether to click on the "Report Spam" or "Junk" button without opening the actual message

Click-Through Rate
• CTR measures the % of links clicked by unique individuals in an email• Be sure to look at both unique and per-individual CTRs in your metrics• CTRs are highly dependant on the quality of the email segmentation, content, and design
Unsubscribe Rate
• Unsubscribe Rate measures % of opt-outs from the email• Remember…to be CAN-SPAM compliant you must allow for opt-outs• Allow people to remove themselves from certain email lists as well as all communication
![Page 20: Online Metrics - AFP](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052521/54477e48afaf9f65178b48ad/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Conversion Rate• Conversion Rate measures % of clickthroughs that resulted in an action• Actions could be making a donation, registering for an event, taking a survey, renewing a
membership, or some other trackable action• Conversion Rate is the ultimate measure of the success of an email campaign

How Long Does it Take to Measure Results?• 50% of people will open an email in the first 9 hours• 75% of people will open an email in the first 28 hours• The remaining 25% may take several days• The average email campaign has its peak open rate in 14 days
What is the Best Day of the Week to Send Email?• There is no magic formula…so test, test, and oh yes, TEST!• But…the most popular days are Tuesday through Thursday• Saturday is the lowest volume email day of the week
