Email marketing benchmarks: Terminology
If you have questions regarding what each benchmark term means, we put together a short summary of each one below.
- Open rate: Open rate represents the percentage of subscribers that opened your email, based on the number of email recipients. For instance, if you send an email to 100 recipients and 50 open it, your open rate is 50%.
- Click-through rate (CTR): Click-through rate represents a strategy-level metric because it measures the percentage of subscribers that clicked on a link or image in an email, based on the total number of emails sent.
