A monthly email that gets read and clicked.
Figures from HubSpot, Monthly Newsletter Campaign.
I've helped put the monthly customer newsletter together since 2018, and in my last two years I wrote, designed and sent it in HubSpot.
Nearly every issue goes only to engaged contacts, with unengaged contacts left out. It sends at the same local time for every reader, early in the month.
Scroll each one to read the whole email. These are captures of the sends as they appeared in HubSpot.
Open rates above 36% and click rates above 5% on these sends. Judge a send by its clicks first, since mail apps can inflate opens.
