Industry Statistics

Industry Statistics

Over the past couple of months, we have been asked the same question by a number of different clients:

“What is a good open rate?”

While we have been providing figures and averages that are published by various marketing bodies, we thought it would be really useful to have averages from our clients. Clients can then compare their sent, open/view figures with other similar companies in the same sector who also use Concep Campaigner.

Compiling the data

To get the figures, we took around 15 companies from the accounting, legal, and property industries. We worked out all the totals for those companies, and then combined them to figure out the averages. It is worth noting that internal campaigns were removed from the statistics. Please note that none of the company names have been mentioned. All figures were taken from mid 2010 – 2011.

  Recipients - average View % Undeliverable % Opt outs % Abuse %
Accounting 342,825 23.8 5.22 0.26 0.01
Property 396,617 23.9 5.85 0.22 0.01
Legal 336,734 24 5.13 0.28 0.01
 

Total recipients and view rates

Clients in the property industry averaged a higher number of total recipients, averaging around 400,000 for the year. Those clients in the accounting and legal sectors averaged around 340,000 total recipients. View rates were identical across all sectors, averaging a total of 24%.

Deliverability rate

Deliverable rates across all sectors were 95% - meaning only 5% of all sent campaigns were undeliverable. Other major benchmark providers suggest deliverability rates are around 88%, our Concep Campaigner users are performing well above the average.

Opt out and abuse rates

Finally, opt out rates and abuse rates were very low across the board. Opt out rates were around 0.25% for all sectors, and abuse rates were even lower at 0.01%.
