Analyze metrics

To properly understand the success or failure of an email marketing campaign, it is necessary to monitor several key metrics. The insights gained from these metrics can then be used to optimize future campaigns. Odoo’s Email Marketing application tracks several key metrics, which can be interpreted to improve future campaigns.

Below is a non-comprehensive selection of percentage-based metrics that are key for analyzing the success of an email marketing campaign.

Click on any smart button to see the recipient records for that respective metric.

Opened rate

The Opened rate measures the percentage of emails opened by recipients against the total number of sent emails.

A high open rate may indicate the subject line was timely, compelling, and successfully prompted the recipients to view the message.

A low open rate may indicate the subject line failed to capture the recipients’ interest. It could also indicate the email ended up in a spam or junk folder, due to having a poor sender reputation, or failing to configure the proper DNS records.

Replied rate

The Replied rate measures the percentage of recipients who responded to the email directly against the total number of sent emails.

A high replied rate may indicate the email resonated with recipients, prompting them to take action or provide feedback.

A low replied rate may suggest that the message lacked relevance or did not contain a clear call-to-action.

Clicked rate

The Clicked rate, represents the Click Through Rate (CTR), which measures the percentage of recipients who clicked on a link within the email against the total number of sent emails.

A high CTR may indicate the email content was relevant and appropriately targeted. Recipients were motivated to click the links provided, and likely found the content engaging.

A low CTR may indicate issues with either the targeting, or the content itself. If there were any calls to action, recipients may have been unmotivated, or the message itself may have been directed toward the wrong audience.

Received rate

The Received rate measures the percentage of emails successfully delivered against the total number of sent emails.

A high received rate can indicate the mailing list used is up-to-date and the sender authentication is trusted by email providers.

A low received rate may indicate issues with either the mailing list used for the mailing, or with the sender authentication. View the Deliverability issues section for more information.

Bounced rate

The Bounced rate measures the percentage of emails unsuccessfully delivered, against the total number of sent emails.

A high bounce rate could indicate issues with either the mailing list used for the mailing, or with the sender authentication.

A low bounce rate may indicate the mailing list used is up-to-date and the sender authentication is trusted by email providers. View the Deliverability issues section for more information.

Deliverability issues

The following defines possible reasons for a high bounce rate or low received rate:

  • Using a mailing list that contains outdated contact information, or malformed email addresses, is likely to result in a high bounce rate and/or a low received rate.

  • Mailings sent using a From email address that differs from the sender’s domain are likely to bounce with certain email providers, due to failing DMARC authentication.

  • Failing to configure the proper DNS records can also result in a high bounce rate.
