How to calculate email unsubscribe rate
Why email unsubscribe rate matters for Customer.io users
Unsubscribes represent the strongest negative signal a subscriber can send. While some attrition is natural, elevated unsubscribe rates indicate a mismatch between what recipients expect and what they receive - whether that is content relevance, message frequency, or targeting accuracy.
Positioning unsubscribe rate in your metric tree alongside engagement and deliverability metrics reveals the trade-offs in your messaging strategy. Aggressive frequency may boost short-term engagement but accelerate unsubscribes, eroding your addressable audience over time.
