The terms for both the Blast Metrics and Audience pages are listed in alphabetical order below:

Audience

Blast Volume

The average number of Blasts delivered to your Audience Members per day.

Blast Volume = (Delivered / # of days).

EX: If 7 Blasts were delivered to your Audience Members during the last two weeks (14 days), the Blast volume would be .5 Blasts per day.


Click Rate

The unique rate that Audience Members who opened a Blast clicked the links inside of it.

Click Rate = (Unique Clicks / Unique Opens) * 100.

EX: If 500 Audience Members open a Blast, and 200 of them clicked on links inside that Blast, the click rate would be 40%.


Delivered

The number of Blasts that were successfully delivered (and not bounced) to each Audience Member.

EX: If 100 Blasts were sent to your Audience Members and 5 of them bounced, there would be 95 Blasts delivered.


Open Rate

The percentage of Audience Members that open their Blasts when they receive them.

Open Rate = (Unique Opens / Delivers) * 100.

EX: If 1,000 Audience Members received a Blast and only 200 of them opened their Blasts, the open rate would be 20%.
