Read the first 7 Email Marketing & Automation flashcards as text

  1. What is the primary purpose of email list segmentation in growth marketing?

    Answer: To send more relevant, targeted content to specific audience subsets

    Segmentation divides a list into subsets based on shared characteristics so each group receives content relevant to them, improving engagement and conversion rates.

  2. Which email metric measures the percentage of delivered emails that recipients opened?

    Answer: Open rate

    Open rate is calculated as (unique opens ÷ delivered emails) × 100 and indicates how compelling the subject line and sender name are.

  3. What is a drip campaign in email marketing automation?

    Answer: A series of pre-written emails sent automatically based on a schedule or user action

    Drip campaigns deliver a sequence of automated emails triggered by time intervals or user behaviors, guiding prospects through a defined journey.

  4. Under the CAN-SPAM Act, which of the following is a legal requirement for commercial emails sent in the US?

    Answer: Every email must include a clear and conspicuous unsubscribe mechanism

    CAN-SPAM requires every commercial email to provide a clear way for recipients to opt out of future messages, and opt-outs must be honored within 10 business days.

  5. What does 'email deliverability' specifically refer to?

    Answer: The ability of an email to reach the recipient's inbox rather than the spam folder

    Deliverability measures how successfully emails land in the inbox versus being blocked, filtered to spam, or bounced by receiving mail servers.

  6. Which automation trigger is most commonly used for cart abandonment campaigns in e-commerce?

    Answer: A behavioral trigger fired when a user adds items to a cart but does not complete checkout

    Cart abandonment emails are triggered by the specific behavioral event of a session ending with unpurchased cart items, making them highly timely and relevant.

  7. What does A/B testing an email subject line primarily help growth marketers optimize?

    Answer: The open rate by determining which subject line resonates better

    Subject lines are what recipients see before opening, so A/B testing them directly impacts the open rate and helps identify messaging that drives more opens.
