We can see that over 50% of the world population is using email as a communication tool. Also in 2021, email marketing is one of the cheapest marketing channels. We can equally say it’s used in the B2C and B2B segments of businesses.

To measure content performance more than 90% of organizations use the email channel.
49.6% of organizations want to send more emails to their clients than before, only 12.6% want to reduce the number of emails they send out.
When it comes to performance we look into three values: high opening rate, how many emails send have been opened by my audience; high click-through-rate, which indicates that people click on call-for-action items in my email and a low bounce rate, which means emails which had been returned without reaching my client.
