Using Wix Email Analytics to Improve Your Campaigns
TL;DR:
- Access your email analytics through Marketing Tools > Email Marketing > Campaigns in your Wix dashboard
- Focus on open rates (subject line effectiveness) and click-through rates (content engagement)
- Use these metrics to spot patterns and improve future campaigns
- Segment your audience based on how they interact with your emails
- Analytics update in real-time so you can make quick adjustments
Email marketing works best when you know what your audience actually does with your emails. Wix gives you the analytics to figure this out, and using them properly can turn mediocre campaigns into engaging ones.
Getting to Your Email Analytics
Finding your email performance data in Wix is straightforward. Head to your Wix dashboard, click Marketing Tools, then select Email Marketing. Once you're in the Campaigns tab, click on any campaign you want to analyse.
The analytics section shows up right there, with all the key numbers laid out clearly. No hunting around different menus or waiting for reports to generate.
The Metrics That Actually Matter
Two numbers tell you most of what you need to know about your email performance.
Open rates show what percentage of people opened your email. This metric mostly reflects how good your subject line was. If barely anyone opens your emails, your subject lines probably need work.
Click-through rates (CTR) tell you what percentage clicked on links inside your email. This is about your content and calls to action. High open rates with low CTRs usually mean your subject line promised something your content didn't deliver.
Don't get hung up on industry benchmarks. What matters is your own trends over time and which emails perform better than others.
Turning Data Into Better Campaigns
The real value comes from spotting patterns in your numbers. Look back through several campaigns and note what worked.
Did emails sent on Tuesday mornings get higher open rates? Did shorter subject lines perform better? Were product announcements more engaging than general newsletters?
Use these insights to plan your next campaigns. Test different approaches and measure the results. If your audience responds well to questions in subject lines, try more of those. If they click through more on emails with single clear calls to action, stick with that format.
Segment based on engagement. Wix lets you create different lists, so separate your highly engaged subscribers from those who rarely open emails. Send your best content to engaged subscribers and try re-engagement campaigns for the less active ones.
Making Real-Time Improvements
Your analytics update almost instantly, which means you can spot problems quickly. If an email goes out and gets terrible open rates in the first few hours, you'll know something went wrong.
Maybe it landed in spam folders, or the subject line was confusing. You can't fix that specific email, but you can avoid the same mistake next time.
For campaigns with multiple sends (like automated sequences), quick feedback helps you adjust the remaining emails while the campaign is still running.
