Frequently asked questions
What is a good email open rate?
Average open rates vary by industry, typically ranging from 15-25%. B2B emails often see 20-25%, while retail averages 15-20%.
Why don't bounced emails count in open rate calculations?
Bounced emails never reach recipients' inboxes, so they cannot be opened. Only delivered emails provide accurate engagement measurement.
