Email Marketing Metrics for Sussex Businesses
Understand Your Email Performance and Maximise Your Results
Email marketing metrics tell you what is working, what is not, and where the biggest opportunities for improvement lie. Without tracking the right metrics, you are making decisions in the dark. With the right data, you can consistently improve your email performance and generate more revenue from your existing subscriber list.
Phoenix Marketing helps Sussex businesses set up, track, and act on the email metrics that matter most for their specific goals.
The Key Email Metrics to Track
- Open rate: The percentage of recipients who open your emails
- Click-through rate (CTR): The percentage who click on links within your email
- Conversion rate: The percentage who complete a desired action after clicking
- Unsubscribe rate: The percentage who opt out after receiving an email
- Revenue per email: The direct revenue attributed to each email sent
Setting Benchmarks for Your Industry
Metrics only have meaning in context. An open rate of 25% might be excellent in one industry and below average in another. Phoenix Marketing helps you establish the right benchmarks for your specific sector and audience size. This ensures you are judging your performance accurately and setting realistic improvement targets.
Identifying and Fixing Underperformance
When email metrics fall below benchmark, there is always a reason. Phoenix Marketing diagnoses the root cause of underperformance — whether that is a deliverability issue, a subject line problem, a list quality concern, or a content engagement issue. We then implement targeted fixes and measure the improvement.
Common email metric improvements we implement:
- Subject line A/B testing to improve open rates
- List cleaning to remove inactive contacts and improve deliverability
- Content restructuring to improve click-through rates
- Send time optimisation based on audience behaviour data
- Segmentation improvements to ensure each subscriber receives relevant content
Building an Email Metrics Dashboard
Phoenix Marketing builds custom email performance dashboards that give you a clear view of all your key metrics in one place. These dashboards update automatically and highlight trends, anomalies, and opportunities so you can act quickly on what the data shows.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good email open rate for our industry?
Average open rates vary significantly by industry — typically between 15% and 35% for most B2B and B2C sectors. Phoenix Marketing will benchmark your performance against relevant industry data and help you understand whether there is room for improvement and how to achieve it.
Our click-through rate has dropped — what could be causing this?
Declining click-through rates usually result from content that is less relevant to your audience, list fatigue from emailing too frequently, or a change in subscriber composition. Phoenix Marketing conducts a diagnostic review to identify the specific cause and implement the most effective solution.
