Personalization, Actionable Insights, ESP Sync Enhancements, and More

More than 40% of marketers say email marketing it’s very critical—up nearly 30% since before the pandemic. With the stronger focus on email marketing comes an increase in email production volume—and more pressure to stand out in the inbox.

According to our 2021 State of Email report, personalization and automation are must-haves. Customers now expect engaging, personalized, email experiences, and 71% of consumers feel frustrated with impersonal experiences. Yet, 72% of marketers say meeting customer expectations is more difficult.

While more than 50% of marketers told us boosting personalization is a priority, they’re finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with demand without adequate data or technology to streamline their workflow.

That’s why with our February 2022 release, we’re excited to deliver new solutions to help you execute compelling campaigns that engage subscribers, without the added work.

Here’s what’s new in Litmus.

Powerful, actionable insights at a glance with Email Performance Indicators

While ESPs display metrics like click-through rate (CTR) and unsubscribe rate, many do not offer an easy and automated way to identify actionable insights to inform your email strategy.

Email Performance Indicators in Litmus’ Integrated Insights Report provide powerful, actionable insights at a glance.

Visual badges automatically surface emails that are performing well (or not), and highlight specific details on why—so you don’t have to dig into the data.

Each badge includes suggested follow-up actions so you can optimize segmentation, list hygiene, and design and development without guesswork.
