How to calculate newsletter subscriber churn
Why newsletter subscriber churn matters for Customer.io users
List growth gets the attention, but churn determines your effective audience size over time. A list growing at 5% monthly but churning at 4% is barely expanding. Understanding churn composition - unsubscribes versus bounces versus suppressions - reveals distinct underlying problems.
Tracking subscriber churn in your metric tree connects list health to downstream engagement and revenue metrics. Rising churn compresses your addressable audience, reducing the reach and impact of every campaign you send.
