What is Click to Open Rate (CTOR)?

17/05/2024 | E-mail Marketing

Click to Open Rate (CTOR) is an important metric for email marketing or digital marketing campaigns. CTOR is obtained by calculating the open rate, which is the number of people who opened an email, and the click-through rate, which is the number of people who clicked on the links in the opened email, and the ratio of these rates. CTOR is the ratio to the number of recipients who viewed the content of the email before sending the email. CTOR is used to evaluate how effective the email content is. This ratio can help you better evaluate whether you really have engaging content. A low CTOR can indicate that recipients are not interested in your email content or that your content is not motivating them. Therefore, for email marketers, CTOR is an important metric for evaluating and improving campaign success. This task is generally considered an important performance indicator for marketers.

Why is Click to Open Rate (CTOR) Important?

Click to Open Rate is an important metric for understanding how much recipients are affected by email content. It is used to evaluate the effectiveness of email content. When evaluated under headings such as understanding recipient behavior, improving conversion rates, improving email marketing strategies, and increasing cost efficiency, we understand that it is an important metric in email marketing. If a recipient opens the email and clicks on the links in the email content, it shows that the email is engaging and valuable. The fact that recipients click on the links in this email increases the conversion potential and allows it to achieve a high CTOR value. An email with a low CTOR value indicates that it needs to improve its content and design. For this reason, CTOR should be improved and developed by marketers in terms of email content and design. CTOR is also used to measure how recipients react to email content. Thus, it provides important information for making future email campaigns more efficient and personalized. CTOR is important for evaluating the success rates of email marketing results. High CTOR values indicate that the email marketing strategy is effective and has a high return on investment.

How to Calculate Click to Open Rate (CTOR)?

Click to Open Rate (CTOR) is a metric used to measure the effectiveness of an email campaign. CTOR shows the relationship between the email open rate and the click-through rate of the links in the email. As a formula, you can find the click-through rate for the links in the email by dividing the number of clicks on the links in the email that are opened by the number of people who opened the email. (Click-Through Rate=(Click Count/Open Count) x100)

The email open rate is calculated by dividing the number of people who opened the email by the total number of people the email was sent to. (Open Rate=(Open Count/Sent Email Count) x 100)

After sending an email campaign, it is checked how many people among the recipients opened the email and how many people clicked on the content of the opened email. CTOR is the ratio of the click-through rate to the number of people who opened the email. For example, if 3 out of 10 people clicked on the links, the CTOR is 30%. A high CTOR indicates that the content of the email campaign is liked by the recipients and that it is an email in which the links in it have been clicked. A low CTOR value, on the other hand, indicates that the email content is not looked at much by the recipients and that the links in it are not clicked. This is thus a sign that this email content needs to be reviewed.

What are the Differences Between CTOR and CTR?

CTOR (Click to Open Rate) and CTR (Click-Through Rate) are two important metrics in email marketing, but they offer different perspectives. CTOR measures the click-through rate of the links in the content from among the people who opened the email. CTR, on the other hand, is a general metric used to measure the effectiveness of an ad or content. CTR expresses the click-through rate of an ad or content when it is displayed. While CTOR shows how much the people who opened the email are interested in the email content, CTR shows how effective it is among email recipients and how much interest is shown in the links in the content. CTOR is related to the email open rate. CTR, on the other hand, is related to the effectiveness of the content in digital advertising or content marketing. The CTOR calculation is made by dividing the number of clicked links in the email campaign by the number of email opens. The CTR calculation, on the other hand, is made by dividing the number of clicked links by the total number of times the ad or content is displayed. CTOR is used to measure the impact of email content on recipients. CTR, on the other hand, measures the effectiveness of ads or content in the context of digital advertising or content marketing. That is, while CTOR focuses on email marketing and measures the interaction between people who open the email, CTR is a general ad or content performance measurement. These two measurement techniques are actually important in evaluating the effectiveness of email marketing, but they offer different perspectives.
