Depending on your campaign goals, there are many ways to measure the success of your email program – you can focus on open rates, read length, conversions, retention metrics, but there is one metric that is the most ubiquitous one of all – your click-through rate.
Clicks are directly correlated with conversions, and generally speaking, that is an email marketer’s primary focus. Given that email is the workhorse of digital, with a 3800% ROI, it’s no wonder we all obsess over it. Even though CTR is that all-important metric that many email marketers are obsessed with, we’re here to tell you that it doesn’t have to stress you out.

The top 3 tactics that are ranked as the most effective for improving CTR are also considered the most difficult to implement. Fortunately, our Strategic Accounts team has tried-and-true tactics that will help you optimize your CTR.
