We are launching a new metric calledAdjusted Open Rates (AOR). AORis a version of the existing Open Rate that reports on the % of human opens (also known asreliable opens) within the population of emails that discounts emails with events associated with Apple Devices (also known asunreliable opens)
Formula to calculate AOR:
Reliable Opens:Emails expected to be opened by actual humans
Unreliable Opens:Emails suspected to be opened by bots/machine
Open rates have become immensely convoluted since the inception of theiOS 15 privacy changes, affecting a marketer's ability to measure email engagement accurately. This is because it is extremely challenging to attribute an open event from any Apple Device as reliably opened by a human or a bot.
Given this, HubSpot's philosophy was to build a solution around Open Rates that offer maximum reliability to our customers. HubSpot does not believe that Apple will be the only email client to enact a change of this type, and is therefore focused on building a solution that is scalable across providers.Adjusted open rateswill:
Help customers understand the % of human opens within the population of emails that discounts emails with events associated with Apple Devices or MPP
Provide a comparative point of view between the disparity of overall open vs adjusted open rate
Note: The numbers are just estimates, as it is challenging to distinguish between a human or bot event if coming from an Apple device.
