Read on to discover what an email campaign report needs to actually help you improve your campaign performance.
Email campaign report with SEINō: 3 key elements
Email campaigns are one of the most easily trackable digital marketing channels – and the most effective one, according to 51% of industry experts. You can analyze various metrics, including click-through rates and bounce rates, with ease. However, it would help if you had a solid reporting tool to get those valuable insights and flourish with a successful email marketing strategy.
If you're in the 47.2% of marketers whose email marketing campaigns are only somewhat effective, we have just the right solution for you.
The option with the most complex set of marketing reporting data that's also easy to read and navigate is SEINō. It combines the three key elements to help you create an informative, actionable email report template: integrations, crucial KPIs and customization.

Key metrics and targets
Once you get your SEINō account up and running, with data sources connected, it's time to organize that information into a report that will help you make sense of it all. Start by selecting the metrics that matter most for your organization and set up baselines for each.
At SEINō, we know what email KPIs and targets to measure to get a detailed and actionable overview of your email marketing campaigns. These are the most crucial metrics you need to have in your email marketing reports:
- Email bounce rate: The percentage of emails that didn't reach the address
- Email conversion rate: The percentage of subscribers who take the desired action after opening your email
- Revenue: SEINō is one of the few email analytics tools that gathers transactional metrics, like the number of transactions, total revenue, average order value, revenue per session and revenue per email sent
- Session duration: The time each recipient spends between opening an email and closing or navigating away from it
- Open rate: The percentage of subscribers who opened your email
- Sent all: The total number of emails you sent, including duplicates, bounces and unsubscribes
- Sent unique: The number of emails sent, excluding duplicates, bounces and unsubscribes
- Average order value: The effectiveness of your email marketing efforts in terms of revenue – the total income divided by the number of emails received
- Complaint rate: The percentage of people who mark your email as spam or file a complaint via their ESP
- Email deliverability: The rate of your emails that make it to the inbox (rather than getting lost or landing in spam and junk folders)
- Email click-through rate: The percentage of people who click through to a link in your email that directs them to somewhere else, e.g., your landing page or shop
- List growth rate: SEINō has a rare feature that allows you to see how your customer base is developing by monitoring your subscriber list over time (new subscribes vs unsubscribed)
- Forwarding rate: The percentage of recipients who shared your email with others
The intuitive SEINō software lets you set specific targets for each of the metrics listed above.
Let us take you through it with this short tutorial:

You can also set alerts that will be sent to the person responsible whenever any of the baselines get crossed. For some metrics, that means going over a certain limit (like the unsubscribe rates), for others – going under (like click-through rates).
Here's another video to help you set up alerts so you never miss a situation that needs your immediate attention:

Viewing options
The next step is to sort those KPIs into views that make sense for you and your marketing team. We know raw data can seem like a jumble of nonsense, so we designed various visual representation choices. You’ll gain a clear understanding of your strengths and identify areas needing immediate attention.
There are plenty of other visualization options you can choose from, such as:
- Grouping
- Pivoting and filtering data
- Dashboarding
- Displaying data from BigQuery in tables
- Exporting data

SEINō stands out from other email reporting tools with a rare feature that allows you to benchmark campaigns against each other. Most software for analyzing email performance only lets you track and view one campaign at a time. With our campaign monitor, you can compare your marketing strategies in one reporting view. That makes it easier to spot patterns and discover which elements perform the best.
We also segment your subscribers into groups based on their behaviors and engagement. You may have more target audiences than you thought, and each of them needs a different communication strategy approach.
That brings us to our last point – our system's A/B testing capabilities. SEINō isn't limited to email marketing analytics. It also lets you test and optimize your email campaign ideas. Split-test any element of your email campaigns between the same or different audiences.
You can experiment with pretty much anything, like subject lines, CTAs, layout, design etc. Then, use the collected insights to change and optimize in real time with just a few clicks.

Conclusion
Email continues to be in the top three digital marketing channels. However, it's pretty much useless if you don't know what you're doing with it and what results your efforts are bringing.
Copying data from your email provider, pasting it into spreadsheets, pulling transactional Google Analytics email data and combining it all is many hours of work. Not to mention, it's easy to make mistakes or miss some information in the process. But creating an email campaign report doesn't have to be hard.
SEINō is an email analytics software that offers advanced reporting and segmentation tools that illustrate your subscribers' behavior and preferences. Based on the graphs, charts and dashboards you generate, you can easily create segmented lists and targeted campaigns that will resonate with your particular audience.
