The rest of the bunch

Average Score: Trending Up

The Average CTR overall in February was 20.5%, up from 17.86% in January.

 

Length: Trending Up

In December and January, the largest group of subject lines were 31 to 40 characters. In February, 41 to 50 characters was the most common. A second layer of analysis this change was driven by a higher word count, rather than the average length of the words used. In February 89% of the words used were 10 characters long or fewer, up from 83% the previous month.

 

Personalisation: Trending Down

Nearly 50% fewer subject lines contains personalisation in February than in March (12.59% vs. 20%). The recipient’s first name was the dominant choice, making up 15 out of 16 examples. The other used the recipient’s company name.

 

Emojis: Trending Down

3 subject lines containing emojis is the joint lowest count since we started this analysis.

 

 

Sender Name: Trending Up

The handful of subject lines which did include the sender’s name were dominated by the “functional” category. This is how we label resource downloads, opt-in messages and other similar content.

 

 

Type

Sales/Marketing loses some ground, but still leads the pack with 42% of subject lines.

Events continue to make a comeback, with their biggest share of the pie since October 2021.

 

Sending Day

Monday wins for the second month in a row, with an average CTR of 35.64%. Weekends extend their lead over weekdays (26.73% VS. 17.77%).

Tuesday was the very worst day for engagement, with a measly 8.41% average CTR. Wednesday was not much better at 9.64%.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
