The cause of inactive subscribers or is it the content?

Based on our in-house calculations an average- sized email list, with less than 5,000 recipients may contain as many as 27 to 36 percent of inactive subscribers.  Furthermore, an older email list will typically have more unengaged or inactive list members.  AND that number will be larger with bigger member lists, reaching in some cases as much as 40% inactive list members. In this context, we identify inactive subscribers as those who reportedly have not clicked or opened a single email in a certain time frame over the number of emails received. Excluding bounces, what would cause a list member subscriber to become an inactive subscriber?   Loss of interest change of relevance It happens to everyone.

From the email marketer of a major corporation to the one-man shop marketer, they all try their best to get out a timely email newsletter – with zero expectation of a total email campaign failure.  When a failed campaign is discovered, they might not know what went wrong, and may think “did I sign up with the wrong ESP?” An ESP or Email Service Provider is a company that offers “ different ways to manage and send bulk email to individual email addresses for delivery .” One may believe they failed to perform this service when the delivery analytics disclose to the marketer their email campaign messages weren’t delivered as expected: theoretically an email campaign failure. A campaign failure doesn’t indicate it’s the wrong ESP.  However,
