Emails Sent is a metric in HubSpot that tracks the total number of emails that have been sent from your account to your contacts or lists within a specific time period.
With Databox you can track all your metrics from various data sources in one place.
The emails sent metric simply refers to the number of emails that an individual, organization, or email service provider has sent out to recipients.
This metric covers all types of emails sent, including promotional emails, transactional emails (e.g., order confirmations, password resets), newsletters, and other forms.
There are several major factors that determine whether you’re sending enough emails to your audience – the purpose of the campaign, type of sequence, industry norm, list engagement level, and more.
But ultimately, a good number of emails sent is one where you clearly communicate your message, connect with your target audience, and produce the desired outcomes.
Here’s one benchmark we pulled out from our product that you might find interesting.
According to HubSpot Benchmarks for All HubSpot Customers, companies send more than 2,500 emails a month. The top quartile sends almost 10x more – 20,440 emails a month.
Of course, your numbers can be drastically different. It always comes down to your type of business model and whether (and how much) you focus on email marketing as a channel.
