Key Takeaways

  1. The nurture is working. 7 previously cold/uncontactable contacts have re-engaged — 4 via form, 3 via meeting booking. 1 has an active deal. These are contacts that weren't responding before.
  2. Open rates are solid for re-engagement (13–21%). The subject lines are cutting through to contacts who haven't heard from YGG in a while.
  3. CTAs need a stronger reason to click. The email content could benefit from a more compelling call to action — once the Rent to Own calculator is ready, swapping or adding that as a CTA could lift engagement.
  4. General Enq email 2 is the weakest link. 9.7% opens, 0.2% clicks, 0 replies. The subject line and content need reworking.
  5. Success story format performs best. Uncontactable email 3 has the highest click rate (2.3%) — real examples drive more action than educational content.
  6. Still early days. Batch 3 just started, Batch 4 hasn't sent yet (~1,043 contacts still to go). Ongoing workflows keep feeding in new contacts.
