How to calculate email open rate
Why email open rate matters for Customer.io users
Open rate is the first engagement signal in your email funnel. A declining open rate indicates problems with subject lines, sender reputation, send timing, or list quality - issues that cascade through your entire messaging programme if left unaddressed.
Positioning open rate at the top of your engagement metric tree creates an early warning system. Statistical correlations reveal how open rate changes predict downstream click-through and conversion rate movements, giving you time to intervene before revenue is affected.
