Oct 07, 2020 | 2 minute read What is Email Tracking?
Simply put, Email Tracking is the ability to monitor the progress of an email after you hit send. This practice is becoming more popular and it’s easy to see why. Knowing if and when an email has been opened is beneficial in a number of ways. It helps you (1) judge a potential client’s interest, (2) determine whether or not to follow-up and (3) eliminates the need for read receipts.
Although many companies offer email tracking services, the most they’ll tell you is whether an email has been opened. Visual Visitor lets you know so much more.
The Advantages of Tracking Your Emails
When you download our email tracking plug-in, you’ll receive instant notifications about the progress of your email. Our software can detect:
-
The date and time the email was opened
-
How many times the email was opened
-
The duration of time the recipient looked at the email
-
The geographic location where the email was opened
-
How long it took for the first open to occur
And that’s not everything our plug-in offers. With the click of a button, you can insert a template message into the body of an email. Don’t waste time copying and pasting your sales pitch. Instantly upload it with our plug-in.
