2. MY PERFORMANCE METRICS ARE
GOOD / BAD / AVERAGE / DON‟T KNOW
B2B email newsletters typically range from 5% to 15%
highly segmented and personalized email lists (B2B and B2C)
are often in the 10% to 20% CTR range
email messages with very strong content but sent
to unsegmented lists, like many news or trend-type
e-newsletters, are often in the 10%-15% range
there‟s no single performance benchmark, but
here are some pointers

“… I can say without hesitation that there is NO
"best" email service provider out there. In fact, I
would say that they all suck...at one or many
