Email Marketing Master 4

Question 1

What is 'list churn' in the context of email marketing?

Accepted Answer

The rate at which a list loses valid subscribers through unsubscribes, bounces, and inactivity

Answer

List churn typically averages 20–25% annually and represents the natural decay of an email list over time, requiring continuous list growth to offset losses.

Question 2

In A/B testing emails, what is the main risk of testing too many variables simultaneously?

Accepted Answer

It becomes impossible to determine which variable caused the performance difference

Answer

Testing multiple variables at once creates confounding factors — you can't attribute a winning outcome to any single change, making the results unactionable.

Question 3

What does the GDPR 'right to erasure' (right to be forgotten) require email marketers to do?

Accepted Answer

Delete all personal data of a subscriber upon their verified request

Answer

Under GDPR, EU residents can request deletion of their personal data, and marketers must fulfill the request within 30 days unless a legal retention basis applies.

Question 4

Which type of email sequence is specifically designed to educate new subscribers about a product or service over a series of messages?

Accepted Answer

Drip campaign (onboarding sequence)

Answer

Drip campaigns deliver pre-written, time-spaced emails that guide new subscribers through key features and value propositions, reducing churn and improving activation.

Question 5

What is the significance of the 'From' name in an email, from an engagement perspective?

Accepted Answer

It is the most visible trust signal and strongly influences whether subscribers open the email

Answer

Studies consistently show the 'From' name is among the top factors subscribers use to decide whether to open an email, as it signals familiarity and trust.
