Open Rate The open rate is the percentage of recipients who open your cold email. This is a good measure of how relevant your email subject line is and how well you are targeting your audience.
I would say 1. Open rate 2. Click through rate 3. Unsubscribe rate

@slimmy82 Great! How do you define/measure the benefits of the Unsubscribe rate?
@mdeluar7 I would look at unsubscribe rate a measure of how inaffective was the messaging to the list. Like was the email list really my target audience? Or was it a waste to purchase that list. Maybe it was my messaging.

@slimmy82 Alright! But do you really purchase a list or prioritize collecting leads with ideal qualities, that convert and decrease your bounce rate?
@mdeluar7 your original post said cold email campaigns. I consider a purchased list cold email campaigns. If you’re collecting emails through a sign up page, I would consider that warm email leads because they opted in themselves. So I probably wouldn’t factor un subscribe rate as much if it’s warm emails

Great question! When it comes to cold email campaigns, my primary KPI is usually the response rate. It's crucial to know how many recipients are engaging with the emails and showing interest. Of course, there are other important KPIs to consider, but the response rate is often a key indicator of the campaign's effectiveness.
