About this service

We take over the regular emails to your list. Each month we agree a calendar, write and design each send, segment the list so the right people get it, and report on clicks and revenue. Open rates have been unreliable since Apple's privacy changes, so we judge each email on what people did after opening it.

Stop reading open rates

In 2021 Apple introduced Mail Privacy Protection, which loads email images automatically for users who turn it on. Each of those loads counts as an open, whether the person read the email or not. On many lists, Apple Mail accounts for a large share of subscribers, so open rates rose overnight without anyone reading more.

That makes open rate a poor guide for subject lines, send times and list cleaning. We judge each campaign on clicks, orders and revenue, and we define engaged subscribers by clicks and purchases rather than opens. Subject line tests still run on lists large enough to support them, measured on clicks.

Who gets each email matters as much as what it says

Sending every email to the whole list is the default, and it slowly harms deliverability. Mailbox providers watch how recipients react. A large block of people who never engage tells them your mail is unwanted, and more of it lands in spam, including for the people who do want it.

So we segment. Recent buyers get different messages from people who have never bought. Highly engaged subscribers get more frequent sends; quiet ones get fewer. Anyone silent for a set period, often six months, goes into a short re-engagement sequence and is removed if they still do not respond. The list gets smaller, and revenue per send usually goes up.

Questions

Why not judge emails by open rate?

Apple Mail opens many emails automatically to protect privacy, which inflates open rates for a large share of most lists. Clicks and revenue show what people actually did.

Will sending more often annoy people?

It annoys people who are not interested, which is why we send more to engaged readers and less to quiet ones. Unsubscribes rise a little with frequency; revenue usually rises more.

Does this include automated emails?

No. Welcome, abandoned cart and post-purchase emails are set up once under email automation flows. This offer covers the regular sends.
