Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good email open rate?

Average open rates across industries are 15-25%. B2B emails average 15-20%. Non-profit and government emails often see 25-30%. Transactional emails can exceed 40%. Your rate depends on list quality, subject lines, and sender reputation.

How do I improve email open rates?

Write compelling subject lines (keep under 50 characters), personalize the sender name and subject, segment your list for relevance, send at optimal times (Tuesday-Thursday mornings), clean your list regularly, and avoid spam trigger words.

Are email open rates still accurate?

Apple Mail Privacy Protection (introduced in iOS 15) pre-loads tracking pixels, inflating open rates for Apple Mail users. This means reported open rates may be higher than actual. Focus on click rates and conversions as more reliable engagement metrics.
