🎛️ It's time to say goodbye to your email open rate

Good morning, Marketer, and we’ve got emails covered.

We have two stories in today’s newsletter that really deserve to be read side by side. In fact, I’d say they’re essential reading for email marketers.

Our new contributor Natalie Jackson, host of the Humans of Email podcast, gives a detailed explanation of why it’s time to give up on open rates as KPI for your email marketing strategy. Meanwhile, Kath Pay, author of “Holistic Email Marketing,” takes a deep dive into seven alternative metrics.

This is why you need us in your inbox.
