Email delivery metrics

The first challenge in email marketing is making sure email campaigns like blog post notifications and password resets get delivered. With Mailgun, you can validate email addresses upon sign up, which helps improve delivery rates. The free email analytics from Mailgun provide insights into your bounce rate and help you identify which email service providers like gmail and hotmail are blocking your messages and why.

Email metrics: which to track and why they matter

See easy-to-read reports and graphs to better measure ROI and improve email performance on critical email metrics like open rate, clicks, and email list management, and more.

Open rate

Before a reader can react to the content in your email, they need to open it. The open rate metric is critical for letting you know how effective your subject line is in grabbing attention. Mailgun’s Email Analytics tool tells you which mobile devices someone is using to read your email, which email client they’re using to read it, whether they are bot engagements, and where they are and what time an email was read.

Click tracking

While a high open rate can indicate that a subject line caught the readers’ attention or that there are bot engagements, click tracking measures the next step – whether the body of the email was effective. Use the calls to action that subscribers are actually clicking on. The click-through rate metric gives you specific insights into what calls to action most motivate readers.
