2013 By the Numbers
Taking a look at top-clicked articles, open rates and more from 2013 newsletter sends.
We can't say it enough: we love digging into data. From open rates to star ratings, digital marketing is a numbers game—and those numbers can provide great insights into what’s working well and what needs a closer look.
Data isn’t just a philosophy here, it’s part of our commitment to our clients' success. The powerful reporting tools in The Wire makes that part of the job easy by giving us the capability to measure overall trends like delivery rates and click-through rates down to more granular data like top-clicked items across multiple sends. Our Digital Strategists sift through the wealth of data on a regular basis to create actionable follow-up items for themselves and their clients.
One of the most valuable tools our clients receive each month is a send report that tracks all of the click data from a newsletter or digital campaign. Recently, we took a look at our combined send data for all of the newsletters we sent out over the entire year of 2013.
