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 :ref:`key metrics
|
|
<email-marketing/key-metrics>`, which can be interpreted to improve future campaigns.

============

|
|
|
After a mass mail has been sent, the results for that particular mailing are displayed in multiple
|
|
locations.
|
|
|
|
To access the metrics for an individual mailing, navigate to :menuselection:`Email Marketing app
|
|
--> Mailings`. Locate the specific mailing in the list view, and use the column headings to view the
|
|
results for that mailing. Click on one of the mailings in the list to open the record. At the top of
|
|
the record, detailed metrics are displayed as smart buttons.

.. _email-marketing/key-metrics:
|
|
|
|
Opened rate
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The :guilabel:`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 :doc:`configure the proper DNS records
|
|
<../../general/email_communication/email_domain>`.
|
|
|
|
Replied rate
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The :guilabel:`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 :guilabel:`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 :ref:`email-marketing/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 :ref:`email-marketing/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 :doc:`DMARC authentication
|
|
<../../general/email_communication/email_domain>`.
|
|
- Failing to :doc:`configure the proper DNS records
|
|
<../../general/email_communication/email_domain>` can also result in a high bounce rate.
