Be it design, strategy, or content - every aspect of email marketing ultimately aims at improving the metrics that lead to conversion.
Hence, the State of Emails 2022 has a section that discusses open rate trends, device usage, and optimum time slots.
Here's what we learned-
(1) 71.4% of the surveyors saw a rise in open rates in 2021 compared to 2020 and this could be a consequence of the latest Apple MPP updates.
(2) 56.8% of our survey respondents found an increase in mobile opens in 2021. Email responsiveness for mobile devices is a must going forward.
(3) 41.2% of the surveyors observed that the open time slots have broadened and extended into the night. This could be probably due to the shuffling of work hours because of the pandemic.
