Hi guys.
I hope you are marvellously well.
We will deep dive this morning
in this Marketo Tip
into the most basic Marketo report,
the emailing report,
and we will see how to read those KPIs.
I am Sylvain Davril,
Founder of Merlin/Leonard
and certainly the team's Leonard.
Welcome to this Marketo Tip.
I'm in my Marketo,
in my Marketing Activity tab
in my folder hierarchy,
and I've taken on purpose
a very old programme, one of 2021,
just to show you that those KPIs
stay in Marketo,
even if they are older than two years.
You know that in Marketo,
you have this two-year period
in which the behaviour activity log
is kept
and after that
Marketo tends to delete all of them.
That's not the case for the email KPIs.
So here, I've got an email
I've sent for my Marketo sellers
of January 2021,
and you see that the KPIs
are still there.
We will see that in the report also.
So that's great.
So this email I sent,
I tried to send it to 263 people
and 245 were delivered
and here we see only
the five hard bounced emails.
Hard bounced meaning that the email
address does not exist anymore.
The difference between
the 13 missing emails
are basically soft bounces,
which is certainly answers
from the email server
saying that the email is a spam.
Nothing much to do here
apart from correcting
the wrong email address
and making sure
that Marketo whitelists its server again.
Here I see the opening
and the clicks over time.
So it's very useful to see
if you send your email at the right time.
So here, I sent this email
very early in the morning,
so I see that people tend to click
when they arrive at work
and then at noon.
Here we have this engagement score,
which is basically
a Marketo secret sauce.
It's a score between zero and 100,
zero being the worst email
you can produce,
meaning you send an email
and everybody unsubscribes.
Nobody clicks apart to unsubscribe,
and 100 being
the best email you can send.
All your emails are opened
and clicked and nobody unsubscribed.
Here I've got my number of opened, 73%,
the percentage, which is basically
73 divided by 245.
The click, 12 clicks.
Here, if your percentage is under
I think 10% or 5%,
Marketo tends to zoom.
And this figure here
doesn't mean anything.
It's very confusing.
The real rate is this one, the 4.9%,
which is basically 12 divided by 245.
So my click to open rate
and my unsubscribe.
If I open my email performance report,
here, first I make sure
that I'm in the correct programme,
which is a very common mistake
because when you clone,
Marketo tends to not adapt,
adjust your setup.
So here, 8th of January 2021,
that's great.
That's this one.
I've got nobody in the Smart List.
The Smart List allows you
to remove people from the report,
for instance your employees.
So the figures could be different
if you exclude people here
in the Smart List from the report
and the dashboard we've seen before.
We don't want to do that
for the exercise.
And here,
in this email performance report,
I find the exact same figures
I had on my dashboard.
So here, 263, 245,
the five hard bounces, 13 soft bounces,
73 open, 12 clicks.
That's great, and one unsubscribe.
That's exactly what I was expecting.
So here, we count the persons.
We count the people.
We'll see in the email link performance,
it's a bit different.
Let's have a look at that.
So first, I make sure
that I'm on the correct email programme.
Pretty sure it's that.
Yeah, it's the right one.
Nobody in the Smart List, right, great.
And here in my report,
I will see I don't have
the 12 clicks I was expected to see,
I've got 15 and here 20.
So what does it mean?
It means that some people
have clicked on multiple links,
that one person has clicked
on one or two or three links,
because my email
contained here five links.
And so, that's why we switched
from 12 to 15.
But here we click again the people,
but people plus link,
which is the key.
Here we count the clicks,
meaning that on those 12 people,
certainly people have clicked
on multiple links,
but they have clicked
twice or thrice on the same link.
Here, we see nine people clicked
on this link,
but we have certain clicks.
So it means that at least several people
clicked multiple times on this link,
certainly to reconnect
on the office hour.
So that explains why the figures
are different
and that may be confusing sometimes.
I hope it was clear and it helps.
Talk to you soon. Bye-bye.
