Numbers for the year. Then, it’s time to drill down into your individual campaigns, automated emails, and your list segmentation. Ask yourself:
- Is the content and design aligned with our current branding?
- Are all links working and to pages that are still relevant?
- Is the email accessible?
- Is there a clear audience for this email? Which segment?
- Did the subject line and preheader text work? Meaning, how many opens did the email receive?
- Are subscribers engaging with the Portugal Business Email List email content by reading, clicking, or responding?
- Did the email achieve its objective? (Traffic, signups, sales, etc.)
Once you understand how you’re doing, you can start making a plan to address the gaps.
