Report Summary

Report Summary

A campaign's report summary includes real-time campaign data, campaign reach metrics, opens by time, and opens by location, giving you an overview of how well that campaign has performed.

Realtime campaign data

Our realtime data reports analyze a great deal of information and present it in an easily digestible format for you. Let's take a look at what each of these data elements can tell you about your email campaign.
To view the realtime campaign data:
  1. From the Navigation toolbar, choose Reports and select Sent Campaigns.
  2. Select any of your sent campaigns.
  3. You can see the data in the Report Summary subtab.
Unique opens - Number of individual recipients who have opened your email campaign. 
Total opens - Total number of times your email campaign was opened.

Here is an example:
Number of times Ari opened your email - 4
Number of times Eli opened your email - 3
Number of times Cameron opened your email - 2
Total Opens - 9
Unique Opens - 3

Unique clicks - Number of recipients who have clicked links or buttons in your email campaign.
Total clicks - Total number of times recipients have clicked links or buttons in your email campaign.
Bounces - Number of email delivery attempts that failed.
Click-to-open rate (CTOR) - This metric displays the rate of contacts who opened your email campaign compared to how many clicked the links in it. CTOR is calculated by dividing unique clicks by unique opens.This metric is an important indicator of your campaign's effectiveness.
Complaints - Number of recipients who have lodged a complaint against your email campaign.

From the moment you click Send, it's natural to be curious how your emails are performing. You can check your Zoho Campaigns' report for detailed data on email open and click rates.
Open and click rates are the standard parameters used to validate email marketing practices and contact engagement. The higher the open and click rates are, the more people your business is reaching.

Open rate

Percentage of delivered email messages that have been opened.

Open rate percentage

To track the number of email opens, a one-pixel image is added to the email. This is known as a "web beacon" or "tracking image", and is invisible to your contacts. Every time a contact’s email program loads that image, it contacts Zoho Campaigns and the email opening action is logged.

Click / Open rate (CTOR)

Percentage of opened emails whose links or buttons have been interacted with by the recipient.

Click rate percentage

Whenever a recipient opens an email and clicks on a link or button, it's counted as a 'click-through'. Click-throughs indicate that your recipient is interested in your email and wants to engage further.

When an email open goes uncounted

As open rates are calculated from the tracking image, they can't be counted accurately in the below cases:

Plain-text emails

Open rates can't be tracked when a campaign has been sent in plain text format. If you want to track your opens, we recommend you send out HTML-based emails.

Image-only emails

Most mailbox providers (Gmail, Outlook, etc) do not display images in emails by default. The email recipients are expected to actively click on Display Images to view the content. When you send an email with image-only message, your recipients may only see a blank email. This will not be counted as an email open. If the recipient clicks Display Image, or any other URLs in the email, it will be considered as opened.

Because of this, your campaign report may show a smaller open rate than is representative of the number of people that actually opened it.
To avoid this, Zoho Campaigns recommends you:
  • Request that your recipients add your sender address to their address book (whitlelisting). To learn how to whitelist a sender address, click here.
  • Avoid image-only emails and use text along with your images, so that your recipient doesn't misinterpret it as a blank email.

Campaign reach

Here, you can get insights into your campaign's overall reach, through both email and social media.
