FROM NAMEB2B company monthly newsletter test:
Unique Open Rate comparing the Sales Representative to the Company name was 2.82% higher after a rela-tionship was formed.
The Trend line below shows growth in a B2C company where purchase behavior played a role in deciding who to send from which resulted in a 2% and eventually 3% increase in open rate. More significant is the consistent decrease in the unsubscribe rate over time.
