ROCKVILLE, MD (PRWEB) June 22, 2016 -- MailerMailer just published their sixteenth Email Marketing Metrics Report. This report, which consists of colorful, interactive charts and engaging text, can be accessed on the MailerMailer website. Email marketers use the findings within this yearly report to understand current benchmark statistics and make better choices with regards to their own email marketing campaigns.
The data in this year's report was collected from almost 1 billion email messages, comprising 49,000 campaigns sent between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2015. Metrics such as open, click, click-to-open, and bounce rates were measured across 29 different industries as well as cross-sectioned with data related to scheduling, personalization, and subject lines.
Here are a few takeaways from the 2016 report:
• Both halves of 2015 produced higher open rates than their respective halves in all previous years.
• In 2015, the average open rate for the second half of the year exceeded that for the first half of the year — a trend not observed since 2012.
• The average click rate for each half of 2015 increased compared to those of 2014.
• During 2015, recipients opened and engaged with messages more at the beginning of the workweek and less during the later part of the week through the weekend.
• Subject line personalization had an adverse effect on message performance during 2015.
• The most commonly used subject line words within 2015 related to savings or time-sensitive information.
• Messages with medium-length subject lines yielded the highest average open rate, but messages with longer subject lines claimed the highest average click rate.

"Our goal is to provide organizations with solid benchmark statistics and clear evidence of industry trends so that they can make informed decisions about their own email marketing strategy," says Raj Khera CEO and co-Founder of MailerMailer LLC.
