List and segment analytics are a great way to see detailed insights about your contacts. You can either generate a new segment or list and analyse it right away or view the analytics of an existing segment or list.

Learn more about creating new lists or segments in Create an email list and Create a segment.

Understand list and segment analytics

There are four tabs of data available for analysing your lists and segments:

  • Email analytics

  • Web analytics

  • Commerce analytics

  • RFM analytics

Email analytics tab

Select the Email analytics tab to see detailed information about the email engagement of contacts within the list or segment.

Use the date range picker to display analytics data for the selected time range.

The data available on the Email analytics tab:

  • Emailed contacts
    The number of contacts in the the list or segment that have been sent at least one email campaign in the selected date range.

  • Average open rate
    Average open rate of contacts from this list or segment for campaigns received in the selected date range.

  • Click-to-open rate
    The percentage of contacts within the list or segment who have clicked a link in any email campaign they have been sent, compared to the contacts in the list or segment that have only opened any email campaign they have been sent.

  • Emails sent
    The total number of campaigns sent to the contacts within the list or segment.

  • Not contacted in this period
    The number of contacts in the list or segment that have not ben sent any email campaigns in the selected date range.

  • Total clicks
    The total number of email clicks by contacts within the list or segment.

  • Most engaged day
    The day of the week when the most email clicks occurred by contacts within the list or segment.

  • Most popular links
    Three metrics related to your most popular links:

    • URL: The URL of the link

    • Clicks: The number of clicks the link got.

    • Click share: The percentage of clicks the URL gets compared to all clicks in a segment. Calculated as (URL clicks / total clicks) * 100. For example, 3 out of 6 clicks is a 50% click share.

Web analytics tab

Select the Web analytics tab to see detailed information about how the contacts within the list are using your site.

Use the date range picker to display analytics data for the selected time range.

The data available on the Web analytics tab:

  • Contacts tracked

    The number of contacts within the list or segment that you have tracked with Web behavior tracking.

  • Total sessions

    The total number of sessions by contacts within the list or segment.

  • Average pages viewed

    The average pages viewed per session by contacts within the list or segment.

  • Average session

    The average session length (seconds) by contacts within the list or segment.

  • Bounce rate

    The bounce rate for web sessions by contacts within your list or segment. The bounce rate is sessions that viewed a single page and then left your site.

  • Most active day

    The most active day for web sessions by contacts within your list or segment.

  • Most active hour

    The most active time of day for web sessions by contacts within your list or segment.

Commerce analytics tab

Select the Commerce analytics tab to see detailed commerce-related information about your customers within the list or segment.

Use the date range picker to display analytics data for the selected time range.

The data available on the Commerce analytics tab:

  • Average order value

    The average order value for contacts within the list or segment.

  • Total order value

    The total order value for all contacts within the list or segment.

  • Best selling products
    A list of the best selling products, showing the total sales and share of sales.

RFM analytics tab

Select the RFM analytics tab to see detailed information about the RFM personas within this list or segment.

This tab comes in two parts: List or Segment RFM personas and Persona comparison.

If your list or segment contains contacts that have never ordered from you, they won’t be included in the RFM population, so the total number of contacts may differ from the total number of RFM personas.

RFM personas

At the top of the RFM analytics tab, you can see the list or segment’s RFM personas and the total number of contacts within each persona.

Persona comparison

At the bottom of the RFM analytics, you can see a chart showing the list or segment persona population vs the total account population. This chart shows how the contacts and persona groupings within this list or segment compare to all the contacts in your account. It offers valuable insight into how this particular group of contacts compares to your total audience.


Compare with another list or segment

You can compare the metrics of a list or segment with any other list or segment in your account.

When comparing, you see all the same data and metrics as in the single analytics view. However, the data is spread across two columns, comparing the original list or segment on the left with the comparison on the right.
