Email marketing analytics
Besides tracking the performance of your e-commerce store, it's also important to track the performance of your email marketing campaigns. Google Analytics tracks certain details about your email campaigns, such as how many visitors came to your site by clicking a link in one of your emails. However, you can get more detailed analytics about your email campaigns by using the analytics tool in your email marketing platform, such as Mailchimp or Constant Contact. You may also be able to integrate your email marketing platform with a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tool, such as HubSpot or Salesforce. This allows you to track analytics from multiple sources in one location. Email marketing analytics can help you improve your campaigns by providing detailed information, such as the following: Open rate: The percentage of users that open your email Click-to-open rate: The percentage of email recipients who clicked on one or more links in an email Unsubscribe rate: Percentage of email recipients who unsubscribe from your send list after opening an email Conversion rate: The percentage of email recipients who clicked on a link in your email and took a desired action, like making a purchase Email bounce rate: The percentage of emails sent that could not be delivered to the recipient's inbox Complaint rate: The percentage of complaints recipients send to mailbox providers about receiving your email

After you decide which changes to make to an e-commerce store to increase conversion rates, you can use A/B testing to find out if those changes will make a positive difference. If the change leads to a higher conversion rate compared to the original version of the website, you can update the website to reflect these changes.
