Since the dawn of email automation, marketers have been obsessed with a single metric: click-through-rate (CTR).

Naturally, this obsession comes with good reason.

While open rate is little more than a vanity metric reflecting your ability to write compelling one liners (i.e., subject lines), when it comes to email engagement — i.e., getting your list to take action — CTR is king.

Or is it?

Totally agree! It's all about the RESPONSIVENESS of your list.

Hi Erik,

Nice article and agreed! I am a huge believer that even when someone opens your email, not replying or taking action is literally fruitless marketing!

Voted up!~
