INTERPRETATION
============================================================
Based on 847 opens from 3,200 emails sent, your campaign achieved a
26.5% open rate.
CONFIDENCE INTERVAL:
We are 95% confident that the true open rate for this campaign (if sent
to the entire population) falls between 25.0% and 28.0%.
WHAT THIS MEANS:
• If you repeated this campaign 100 times, approximately 95 of those
confidence intervals would contain the true open rate
• The margin of error is ±1.5%, indicating good precision with
this sample size
• Your open rate is substantially above the industry average (~20%)
PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS:
• Your campaign is performing 1.3x better than typical email
marketing benchmarks
• Even the conservative lower bound (25.0%) exceeds industry
standards by 25%
• This level of engagement suggests strong subject lines, audience
targeting, and/or email deliverability
BUSINESS RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. REPLICATE SUCCESS: Analyze what made this campaign effective
- Subject line approach
- Send time and day
- Audience segmentation
- Email design/content
2. SCALE WITH CONFIDENCE: Your sample size (3,200) provides reliable
estimates. You can confidently apply these learnings to larger sends.
3. OPTIMIZE FURTHER: While performance is strong, there's still room
to improve toward the upper bound (28.0%). Consider:
- A/B testing subject lines
- Personalization experiments
- Send time optimization
4. MONITOR TRENDS: Track whether future campaigns maintain this
performance level. Regression toward the mean is possible.
5. MOVE TO CLICK-THROUGH: With strong open rates, focus optimization
efforts on click-through rates and conversions to maximize ROI.
