All of us use email for marketing, and 95% of us use open rates as a success metric. But that's about to end. Apple's Mail Privacy Protection will allow Apple Mail users to prevent senders from seeing when and where emails are opened. A lot of our opens come from Apple Mail... so what other metrics should we be tracking? Find out in State of Email Analytics report from Litmus. You'll learn about the metrics other email marketers track—and how they do it. After all, if you want your email campaigns to return the best possible ROI, you need the right performance data and accurate insights. Litmus Email Analytics will help you get both.
