The ability to segment email lists and individualize email campaign messaging are the most effective personalization tactics for 51% and 50% of marketing influencers respectively.
The "don't send to low engagement list" feature. HubSpot has built a special list of people who have not engaged with 12 consecutive emails. Click it to filter out your email list and have a cleaner selection of contacts. You'll get better stats on engagement because your sends won't be polluted by the non-openers.
Updated HubSpot email analytics. HubSpot email analytics are now more powerful than ever before, including new graphs and charts that make it easy to identify your best and worst performing content.
Click Maps to see where contacts click. This is a cool feature. HubSpot shows you where people click, and a list of the specific contacts that clicked there.
Time spent viewing the email. Discover how many seconds your contacts are viewing your email.
See which devices your emails are read on. Finally, hard data to understand your mobile vs. desktop email engagement. HubSpot can show you in-depth information on the device and app your contacts are using to open your emails, so you can use that information to improve your templates and your CTAs.
