👋 Say hello to Smore Analytics! Smore Analytics provides an easy way to determine what happens to your newsletter after you hit “Publish.” Plus, it provides you with easy insights that can help you make more informed decisions about your content, and engage the people who matter to you.
Who’s Reading My Emails
If you emailed your newsletter using Smore, you have some pretty powerful tools at your fingertips. Open up your Analytics dashboard, and click the “Email Report” tab. Here’s what you can do:
👩 See a list of who received your newsletter → Who’s loving what you’re throwing down
📬 If/when they opened it + how many times they opened it → determine optimal send times.
🖱 Know whether or not they clicked on your newsletter. → Who are your real fans?
It’s a simple way to know how your audience is engaging with your content.
If you bounce over to the Metrics tab ⬆️ , you’ll also see a “Time Spent” graph, where you can get a sense of how long your audience spends interacting with your newsletter. For example, if you mouse over a given bar in the graph, you can even see how many recipients spent, say, ten minutes engaging with your content. It’s a great way to understand how your content resonates with your audience.
