You're measuring email all wrong.
Most people in charge still think email = instant conversions
They think more emails = more sales
And if there’s no click, no form fill or new lead, no immediate purchase, they assume it didn’t work
They couldn't be more wrong, because:
→ Sometimes your email didn’t get a click → Because it got a conversation → It got forwarded to a decision-maker → It sparked a search → It brought your brand into a boardroom or someone's shopping list.
It moved someone closer to the goal - even if you didn’t see it in the metrics
That’s called ✨ impact ✨
And it’s why email isn’t a conversion channel, it's a momentum channel
Or as I like to call it, an impact function
So if you’re building your email strategy around attribution alone (or opens and clicks), you’re building it to fail
Next week I'll be sharing what impact metrics are & how you can measure it
