This is a book I needed. I’m a solopreneur and doing all the things that would be wonderful to offload to a VA but I’m not yet in a position to do that, so learning all the basics – and not so basics of email marketing and tracking, while important, isn’t my jam. The tips on how to prevent unsubscribes was helpful as well as the various metrics to pay attention to and ways of optimizing. While I have a list from free gift giveaways its difficult to know exactly who is on my list and I haven’t been great at nurturing my list so as I begin to do so, finding a way to further segment my list to see who really is interested in value content and offers will be crucial, and how to track. This book will help me as I move forward.

I picked up this book because, although I know something about email marketing, I wanted a summary of the most important points. If I had to highlight one thing, it’s the number of mini-tips to improve email marketing. I would also emphasize how easy it is to understand all the concepts. The chapter I enjoyed most was Continuous Growth and Exploration, because even when we think we’re doing everything right, we can improve. Also I like that I can get through the key lessons quickly and start applying them immediately. For anyone managing email campaigns and wanting to go beyond open rates and clicks, this book is solid.

A short and practical guide to email marketing metrics. Prafull Sharma keeps things simple and to the point, which makes this a great read for beginners or anyone looking for a quick refresh on key performance indicators.
It delivers on its promise: it’s concise, easy to digest and it covers a multitude of key metrics.
One star off only because I would’ve loved a few real-life examples or case studies to bring the concepts to life. Still, as a quick-reference or starting point, it definitely delivers.
Recommended for marketers, solopreneurs, or anyone managing email campaigns who wants to get better at using data to drive results.

I love that the book provided real-world comparisons and visual examples to the lessons! It's one thing to learn about the terminology of email marketing, but it's extremely helpful to see how those strategies have been effectively applied and to learn ways to design some of the emails to be appealing to the recipient. If you are new to email marketing, this book breaks down what to be mindful of into very simplistic explanations, ensuring that you are not left wondering what the heck the words even meant in the first place.

I find it a very useful manual. Reviewing the key lessons offers simple instructions to achieve a better connection with consumers and understand their needs.
