Reportlet: Email Navigation Differs Radically from Website Navigation

The navigation bar at the top of your email can be a huge driver of engagement. In addition to appearing in the preview pane in nearly every instance, nav bars give your subscribers a clear and familiar path to engage with you even when they’re not interested in your email’s main message.

According to eROI’s latest Elements of Email survey, 62% of email marketers that include a nav bar find it more effective than or as effective as the main content in driving clicks. In addition, 65% find that it converts better than or as well as the main content of their email.

This 7-page reportlet provides stats on current navigation bar configurations, discusses nav bar tactics, and also covers site search usage in emails.

 I love Smith-Harmon's enthusiasm. It's so great to have a connection with people who really "get" and get excited by email marketing. (Truly, there are not that many of us out there!) I count myself very lucky to have found such accomplished enthusiasts to collaborate with on the REI program. They are helping to bring amazing opportunities to fruition with panache.
