    Deliverability

    Email Deliverability. Email deliverability is the ability to deliver emails to subscribers' inboxes. It is what some marketers use to gauge the likelihood of their email campaigns reaching their subscribers' inboxes related to actual delivery–like ISPs, throttling, bounces, spam issues, and bulking.

    Deliverability
    Engagement
    Email engagement is a measure of how people interact with your emails. Open rate, click rate, and conversion rate are the most common email engagement metrics. You can measure email engagement, but how you measure it depends on a different question.
