Plain text emails yield 17% more clickthroughs than HTML.
We knew this. But it’s great to have it reaffirmed.
Both plain text and HTML have the same open rates, but when a subscriber is focused on a single-link text based email instead of a more visually stimulating HTML email, he or she is more likely to click on the call-to-action.
Every second, 2.5 billion emails are sent. Take a look at the following statistics

  • Text-based emails have a 21% higher unique click-to-open rate on the offer link
  • Text-based emails have a 17% higher unique clickthrough rate on the offer link

Why?
Text-based emails have fewer distractions, so recipients can see the call-to-action right away. And delivery is far better.
