Episode Summary:

What's a good email open rate? What about click rates? Are your stats actually bad — or are you just comparing yourself to the wrong benchmarks? In this episode, I'm diving into email marketing stats for 2025 — what's working for content creators, what's realistic to expect, and how to know if your numbers are actually performing well. Here's the thing: most creators assume they're underperforming — but that's often based on feelings, not facts. I'll walk you through real industry benchmarks (yes, I did the research for you 🤓) AND share insider data from some of our Duett client projects — including specific numbers for welcome sequences, nurture emails, and newsletters that you won't find anywhere else! If you've ever wondered whether your email stats are "good enough" — this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to measure your own success the right way.

In this episode, you'll learn about:

• Why industry benchmarks are helpful — but also why they might not apply to your audience (and what to measure instead)
• Why welcome sequences perform differently than weekly newsletters
• A type of email layout that tends to get more clicks for bloggers (can you guess what it is?!)
• The deeply overlooked stats that have a HUGE impact on your overall site traffic and revenue
• Why focusing on total clicks might be more worth your time than focusing only on your click-through rate
