MCH monitors the effectiveness of these newsletters using analytical tools offered by Campaign Monitor that collect the following information:

  • Email client usage – which email account (Gmail, Outlook, Hotmail) was used to open the email
  • Regions – Where this email has been opened
  • Bounced – The number of emails that weren’t successful due to an inactive address, DNS failure, or if the recipient’s mailbox was full
  • Not opened – The number and email addresses of subscribers that didn’t open the email
  • Shares – The number of times the newsletter has been shared via email, Facebook or Twitter by subscriber
  • Most popular links – The most clicks on any links directing to other websites or information not contained in the email
