Why email track?

So much vital business information is shared over email, where vital data can easily become lost in a very busy inbox. Not only have emails proven to be the most ROI-effective method of digital marketing, they are where a large majority of business interactions take place: making them a very valuable place to harness information. 

You may know that email marketing systems often come with a built-in reports system that helps you understand and track your email communications, but do you know what other features you could potentially be using to create powerful, data-driven results?

“The goal is to turn data into information, and information into insight,”

Carly Fiorina

Reports and basic email tracking

There used to be no way of telling who was viewing your emails, what content was proving popular with your audience, and which send times were the most effective in getting the highest number of clicks and engagements.

 

Nowadays, emails are the most personalisable and in-depth form of marketing; allowing companies to populate fields with the recipients’ personal details, tailored product recommendations, and gain detailed reports on each email campaign’s success.

But there’s more to email tracking than simply understanding how your email marketing is performing. Have you ever thought about tracking the vital business communication data coming into your inbox daily? There’s a much simpler way of keeping track of all this data that does not require clicking between platforms, copy-pasting important data and wasting time on general email admin.

What are email integrations?

Email integrations are more complex methods of tracking information in emails. Using integrations, you can create links between various work platforms including between your CRM and third-party email provider. The value of this is that you can keep track of all the data that gets communicated through your email address, without having to leave the tab. Select data to convert into new Contacts, Accounts, Tasks and Pipelines, and update Project information in the CRM that allows the whole team to stay up-to-date without having to forward emails or block out sensitive data.
