      • Click Rate – The number of times your recipients clicked open the link provided in your email is known as the Click Rate.
      • Bounce Rate – When users navigate away from your website after only viewing one page is known as bounce rate.
      • Response Rate – The number of email replies that you get from your marketing campaign is known as the response rate.
