Open Rate

Open rate is the percentage of emails opened by recipients.

Open rate is an email marketing metric that measures the percentage of email recipients who open a newsletter or other marketing email.

The percentage of people who received and opened your email.

Determining the opening ratio

Open rate is defined as the percentage of people who opened an email out of all the people who received that email.

Note the use of the attachment. While the definition of what counts as delivered email varies slightly between email platforms, it does not include emails that are bounced or not received at all. It is important to note that the open rate is not the percentage of people who opened the email compared to the number of people you sent the email to, but rather the percentage of people who received the email .

Average open rate

The general consensus is that open rates typically range from 15% to 25%.

If your open rate is below 15%, you should start testing your subject line, sample snippet, and the time (and day) your email was sent. Only do one of these things at a time so you can try to find out whether it has a positive effect or not.

If you win more than 25%, well done, keep it up.

Technical information

When it comes to the open rate, there are a few key points to consider:

Any email address that receives an email can only be registered openly. This means that even if someone receives an email, opens it, then marks it as unread and reopens it, it will only count as one open email.
What is considered a delivered email depends on the email platform. In general, an email is considered delivered when it is received by the server of the receiving email platform, ie. However, there is some controversy as to whether an email caught by a spam or spam filter is considered a bounce. This means that for some email platforms, even if an email is quarantined as spam and never viewed by the user, it will still be considered delivered.
Some e-mail programs (such as Outlook) automatically view an e-mail message when you start the e-mail software and when you click on the e-mail (even if it is deleted immediately). These previews are generally considered openings, meaning that the number of openings is often inflated (although there is no consensus on the degree of exaggeration).
Starting with iOS15, Apple Mail automatically opens all emails, making them to track.

7 key points about the opening

Getting people to open your email is the second hurdle to overcome in email marketing (after passing spam filters in the first place).
The opening ratio is *still* inaccurate. Messaging platforms cannot track open messages directly. Instead, they include a small image in emails and only consider uploads. HOWEVER, most email providers don't allow images by default, so they don't count.
To optimize your open rate, look at: 🤵 Who your email is from ⁉️ Email subject line 🔎 Sample snippet 🕒 When you send an email 📅 How often you send an email ÷ Segment your list
Adding images to your email will increase your open rate. The opening is followed by a pixel shop. No one will download all images if they are not visible, so the tracking pixel will not download either.
While the open rate is a very flawed indicator, it is still useful in the short term. The fact that it contains serious flaws makes it less useful for long-term analysis because these flaws are inconsistent. In concrete terms, this means that MonthonMonth's analysis is more meaningful than YearonYear.
If someone has a mailbox that downloads an email preview, it will still be considered open (if they allow images).
If you optimize your open rate, your CTOR will likely drop (the more opens without more clicks, the worse the CTOR). Optimize both together (as well as the landing page to keep your conversion rate up).

Open rate is used in connection with email marketing. In a nutshell, this value tells you that many recipients have opened your email. The open rate should not be confused with the total number of opens. The latter shows you multiple times that everyone has opened your email. This can be done by the same users who have opened your letter several times.

A measure of the number of emails sent in an email marketing campaign and actually opened (and potentially read) by recipients.

Open rate is a measure of how many emails sent as part of an email marketing campaign are actually opened by recipients.

The number of people who opened the email newsletter relative to the total number of recipients. In 2020, government email will dominate with 30.5%. (Hubspot, 2020)

Open rate is the percentage of opened emails out of the total number of emails sent. Similar to CTR, the open rate takes all emails sent and divides the total by the number of emails opened. Example: If we send an email to 1,000 subscribers, but only 250 people open email, the open rate is 25%.
