View subscriber and engagement insights for your contacts

See the engagement level and email activity for all of your contacts or for just the contacts who are part of a specific list or segment

Knowing a bit about your contacts' behavior can help you understand their engagement and connect with them better! Contact insights are available for all your contacts and for just those on a specific list or segment.

Once you know how engaged your contacts are, you can send more targeted content to the most engaged contacts to reward them, to the somewhat engaged contacts to boost their engagement, or to re-engage your contacts with the lowest engagement. The more targeted your content is, the better your email open rates will become!

 

Light Bulb IconDid you know? Segmentation helps you get the right content in front of the right contacts, and when you take the time to customize your content for a targeted audience, your open and engagement rates improve! We've got the tools to segment your contacts in a way that makes sense for your organization and for your list size.
