Email marketing · Metrics analysis and optimisation

When you send a lot, but don’t know what works

  • Campaign reports only show opens and clicks.
  • You don’t know which content interests each segment most.
  • Open rates are falling and nobody knows why.
  • Management asks what email contributes and there’s no answer.
  • Emails always go out on the same day and time out of habit.
  • Bounces and unsubscribes keep rising.

Measure
what ends up
as an order.

Open rates don’t pay the bills. We analyse your campaigns and flows end to end: deliverability, opens, clicks, replies, opportunities and orders. With that data we test subject lines, content, timing and segments, and give you a monthly report that answers the question that matters: what email contributes to the business.

01

Measure what matters

We define business-linked indicators and connect campaigns, CRM and website so they can be measured.

02

Analyse and test

We review results by segment and content and run A/B tests on subject lines, messages and timing.

03

Report and adjust

We send you a monthly report with conclusions and the changes applied for the following month.

What are the most important metrics in B2B email marketing?2026-06-26T14:35:13+00:00

The most relevant metrics in B2B are deliverability rate, open rate, click-through rate, conversion rate, and, above all, the number of sales conversations generated. Unsubscribes and spam complaints are critical indicators of channel health that should never be ignored.

How often should campaign results be analyzed?2026-06-26T14:36:42+00:00

Each campaign should be analyzed individually after sending, and the overall strategy should be reviewed monthly. A more in-depth quarterly analysis allows for the identification of trends and adjustments to the strategic direction with a broader perspective.

What is considered a good open rate in B2B email marketing?2026-06-26T14:37:04+00:00

Open rates vary significantly depending on the sector, the size of the customer base, and the type of campaign, but in B2B, an open rate between 20% and 35% is considered healthy. The most relevant factor is not the absolute number, but rather its evolution over time and its comparison with previous campaigns of the same type.

What is A/B testing and why is it useful in email marketing?2026-06-26T14:37:35+00:00

A/B testing involves sending two versions of the same email with a specific variation—the subject line, the CTA, the design—to similar groups of contacts to identify which one performs better. It’s the most effective way to make optimization decisions based on real data rather than opinions.

How does bounce rate affect domain reputation?2026-06-26T14:38:04+00:00

A high bounce rate—especially hard bounces, meaning emails that don’t exist—damages the sender’s domain reputation and reduces the deliverability of all subsequent mailings. That’s why regular database cleanup and bounce analysis are fundamental parts of metrics analysis.

Does the metrics analysis include recommendations or just data?2026-06-26T14:38:30+00:00

It always includes actionable recommendations. A report with data but no interpretation or next steps doesn’t add real value to the business. Every report ends with specific, prioritized actions for the next period, so the team knows exactly what to adjust and why.

What changes when you measure email properly

You know what email contributes, and it works a little better every month.

  • You know which campaigns bring in orders.
  • Opens and clicks improve month after month.
  • Fewer bounces, spam reports and unsubscribes.
  • Content tailored to what each segment cares about.
  • Management sees the return on email.
