After sending

Following your campaign sending, evaluate your campaign statistics to gather the information you need to make future email marketing decisions.

Here are some things you should check after a few hours of the delivery time:

1. Keep an eye on deliveries

You should monitor the delivery of your campaign once you've given your subscribers a few hours to respond to your campaign. Spam filters or firewalls may block email campaigns that fail to deliver.

2. Keep track of engagement

Observe how your content resonates with your subscribers in terms of engagement for each campaign, as well as engagement over time. Statistic data such as opens, clicks, forwards, and social performance should be taken into account.

3. Keep track of unsubscribes and bounces

Monitor your bounces and unsubscribes over time so you can intervene if issues arise with your audience, campaign content, or delivery. Having a lot of unsubscribes could indicate that your permissions have lapsed or that something in your campaign content has caused people to unsubscribe.
