The major email providers have all put out a blog post on this, so I’m aggregating them here. This is aggregated across every Industry and type. The variance between industries is quite high, anywhere from 0.07% to 0.46%.
Blog Post | Unsubscribe Rate |
---|---|
CampaignMonitor | 0.17% |
Hubspot | 0.24% |
Mailchimp | 0.26% |
Benchmark | 0.19% |
The general recommendation is to keep unsubscribe rates below 0.5%.
You should dig into the benchmarks to get something closer to your Industry and email type.
