9 Proven Strategies for Improving Your Email Click-Through Rate (CTR) Databox

Email marketers spend a lot of time optimizing delivery and open rates with the goal of getting clicks, and ultimately conversions.

But besides the clicks themselves, there are a number of factors that will determine your aggregate email click-through-rate.

Such as:

  • How engaged is your list?

  • How frequently do you send emails to that list?

  • What time of day are you sending the email?

However, in the B2B industry, I’ve noticed that content marketing frequently ends at the lead generation step of the sales funnel. This always surprises me. Sure, it’s important for brands to create downloadable e-books as lead magnets and craft SEO keyword articles to boost search traffic, but I think that’s falling short of what content marketing can and should be. >>>READ MORE
