What Are the Essential KPIs for an Email Marketing Dashboard?

Your email marketing dashboard should include KPIs that measure campaign effectiveness, audience engagement, and revenue impact. Focus on a mix of traditional and emerging metrics to get a comprehensive view of your email performance.

Key Email Marketing KPIs:

  1. Click-Through Rate (CTR):
   CTR = (Number of Clicks / Number of Emails Delivered) * 100

Measures email content relevance and call-to-action effectiveness.

  1. Conversion Rate:
   Conversion Rate = (Number of Conversions / Number of Emails Delivered) * 100

Tracks how many recipients completed a desired action after clicking.

  1. Revenue Per Email (RPE):
   RPE = Total Revenue Generated / Number of Emails Sent

Calculates the average revenue generated by each email in your campaign.

  1. Engagement Time:
   Engagement Time = Total Time Spent Reading Emails / Number of Emails Opened

Measures how long recipients interact with your email content.

  1. Email Client Market Share:
    Track the percentage of your audience using different email clients to optimize design and deliverability.
  2. List Growth Rate:
   List Growth Rate = ((New Subscribers - Unsubscribes) / Total Subscribers) * 100

Measures the health and growth of your email list over time.

Spotlight KPI: Engagement Time

This emerging metric provides deeper insight into content relevance beyond traditional open rates. A higher engagement time often correlates with increased conversion potential.

Example: If your average engagement time is 45 seconds and industry benchmark is 30 seconds, your content is likely resonating well with your audience.
