Email marketing analytics tools | Email marketing templates

Email marketing template is a pre-made template that gives marketers a starting point for their email. Templates are often referenced when marketers don’t want to start from scratch and build out an email wireframe with custom coding from the ground up. Email marketing templates provide a general framework to start from, while still allowing for vast personalization of color, photos, text sizing, branding, and fonts–often times via simple drag and drop features within an email builder.

Example
There are many email marketing templates that serve a variety of different marketing purposes, such as newsletters, deals, surveys, events, and announcements. Campaign Monitor has a gallery of pre-designed, mobile-optimized email marketing templates that can be customized to fit company branding.
Email analytics is the method of tracking how your subscribers interact with your emails by tracking different metrics that deal with email delivery, engagement, and conversions. Such analytics helps email marketers to draw valuable insights and optimize and strategize email campaigns for better performance.

What Are Marketing Analytics Tools? Marketing analytics tools are software solutions that help advertisers track and forecast campaign performance. Marketing analysts can track a multitude of metrics such as ROAS, ROMI, CPL, CPC, deal with attribution modeling, and aggregate marketing data from different channels.

Tutorial: Email Marketing Analytics (Advanced Guide)

This tutorial will help you understand advanced email marketing. I’ll cover how you should segment emails and increase your open rate, what metrics you should investigate and ultimately how you’ll increase engagement and thereby conversions (and more!)

Many marketers neglect the importance of their email marketing analytics and don’t have a sufficient knowledge about their subscribers, which results in impersonal marketing campaigns. They don’t have a clue about what their subscribers like and what they want to read about.
They send the same emails to every subscriber on the list and ends up with mediocre results.

If you are an email marketer who wants to become the best marketer you can be, then you should listen to some of the advice I give in this video.

I touch upon terms such as click-through rate, click-to-open rate, the power of written and visual content, demographic segmentation and engagement and conversion with lifecycle marketing.

With email marketing analytics, you can analyze your current data and learn about your subscribers’ preferences.
