Metrics that matter in email communications

NewZapp Trusted Delivery 

NewZapp Trusted Delivery is a trusted email communication platform that will deliver all of your internal emails to your staff every single time. No spoofing issues, junk folders, or warnings of external emails. Our award winning platform is widely used by NHS Trusts up and down the country for safe, insightful delivery of vital internal communications emails.

Based on this usage we have complied a report that presents the following information and much more.  

Average open and click rate by month

March and April lead the way for employee engagement with the highest open rate. August shows high click rates whilst October and November sit on the bottom of the table.

What time are the campaigns being sent

Our Trusts predominantly send between 2pm and 5pm, you can download the report to see the most popular time. Afternoon sending is preferred to morning and we can see a few sending through the night between 7pm and 7am.

Open and click rate by hour

The best open rates occur outside the preferred times sent by the Trusts. Interestingly campaigns sent between 9pm and 10pm have the same open rate as ones sent at certain times of the afternoon.

Open rate and click rate by subject line length

By the narrowest of margins campaigns with between 0 and 25 character subject lines have the best open rate, followed closely by campaigns with 75 or more characters. For click rates, by a considerable difference, the sweet spot looks to be between 25 and 75 characters.

N.B The recommended length for subject lines on mobile is between 9 words or up to 60 characters.

Conclusion

As an internal communications provider I was fascinated by the results generated in this report. Whilst there were a few results I expected, there was many interesting trends and patterns I didn’t expect to see.

They sit at the intersection of education, skills, employability, social mobility and local economic growth. Unlike universities, FE colleges are intensely place‑based and delivery‑focused, serving diverse learner cohorts including 16–18 students, adult learners, apprentices, employers and communities.
Are your internal emails reaching every member of staff? For communications teams in large organisations, the answer is often less certain than you'd expect. Messages that never arrive at the inbox can undermine trust, delay critical updates, and leave colleagues without the information they need to do their jobs safely.
