The ability to more accurately assess email opens, user platforms and devices, has helped drive optimization of our marketing strategy. We have seen the use of dark mode among our subscribers grow, and subsequently begun updates to our standard email template to accommodate.

We've been able to see what kind of emails our audience likes best by looking at metrics like open rates and clicks. This helps us know what they're interested in and what they respond to. With Litmus, we can figure out which emails work best and why. We use this info to make our emails even more engaging and useful for our audience. We use the data to group our audience based on their behavior, and then we customize our emails/content to their interests.

We are just getting started with this and I am trying to gather as much information as I can about the data that Litmus can and cannot collect. With the basic analytics tracking in place, we are able to review engagement rates, desktop/mobile/webmail usage, dark mode usage. These reports and data points have been helpful. Although, we always optimize our emails for mobile, tablet and dark mode. Still, it's helpful to see.

Litmus helped our organization to avoid email going to spam. Also it helped us to deliver a very good email template quality to our clients by using different Litmus functionnalities. With Litmis we are more confident to deliver email templates to our clients and that means that we could offer this service with less risks
