dig into gray areas with email analyticsSomewhere between the opens and the clicks is a wealth of email marketing data you need to be mining. You might call this the gray area, because it goes beyond the black and white of the simple email reporting of recent history.

Yet it’s not actually gray, meaning it’s not hazy or unclear. Rather, in-depth email analytics—when done with the right tool—creates a crystal clear picture of your email marketing program, for each send and each campaign, in the present and over time. This is the data, the business intelligence, that moves you past the simple black and white email reporting you used to do into actionable insight that can make your program improvements detailed and granular, as you dig deep, learn more, and respond to that knowledge.
