Campaign Monitor’s Latest Feature Takes the Guesswork Out of Email Performance
See email performance in a whole new light
Email marketing success doesn’t come from guessing what’s working — it comes from understanding what drives results. Marketing Monitor, the market-leading email analytics tool from Campaign Monitor, transforms raw performance data into clear, actionable insights. This proven in-app feature set empowers marketers to benchmark campaigns against industry standards, uncover opportunities for improvement, and apply targeted tactics that strengthen engagement and ROI.
Turn performance data into a competitive advantage
You don’t need a data analyst to make sense of campaign results. Marketing Monitor brings enterprise-level intelligence to every marketer, distilling complex metrics into a clean, visual dashboard. See exactly where your campaigns stand, what’s driving change, and where to focus next. With real-time performance insights, teams can move from analysis to action faster — optimizing every send with confidence.
Understand performance in context
Marketing Monitor provides a holistic view of campaign health, helping you interpret performance through an industry-specific lens. With one click, marketers can compare open rates, click-throughs, bounces, and unsubscribes against aggregated benchmarks for their vertical — pinpointing precisely where refinement can yield the most impact.
Each component of the dashboard is designed to make insights intuitive and actionable:
-
- Gauge View: A dynamic dial shows whether your overall campaign results are below, at, or above your selected industry average — so you instantly know where you stand.
- Metrics Overview: View 90-day averages for open, click, unsubscribe, and bounce rates alongside relevant benchmarks.
- Delta Indicators: Each metric displays the difference between your results and the industry average, highlighted in green or red for a quick performance pulse check.
- Industry Selector: Choose your industry from the dropdown menu to instantly update your benchmarks and comparison metrics.
By comparing your results to industry benchmarks, Marketing Monitor helps you understand your performance at a glance and pinpoint where refinements can have the most significant impact.
Set a goal. Get a plan.
Once performance insights are in view, Marketing Monitor helps you take the next step: defining your improvement goal. Choose to increase open rates or boost click rates, and the dashboard instantly curates a tailored action plan.
Once your goal is selected, the dashboard will automatically update and provide a curated list of tactics to help you achieve it. Each recommendation is prioritized based on your past campaign activity and categorized by usage:
- Rarely used: High-impact tactics to test and expand your strategy.
- Sometimes used: Approaches that deliver results when applied consistently.
- Frequently used: Proven techniques already driving success — keep them in rotation.
As you experiment and apply new tactics, your groupings update automatically, highlighting underused tactics that could affect your performance.
