This is something that's bothered me for a long time...the metrics on email-blast performance are REALLY messed up, to the point of being totally useless. Topspin only shows TOTAL (aggregate) Opens & Clicks, so if one fan opens the email 5 times & clicks a link 10 times, all of those actions are counted toward the total. This leads to "percentages" of over 100%, which is meaningless. The bad data Topspin provides makes it impossible to evaluate the real effectiveness of an email campaign, and therefore impossible to test & improve my email-marketing strategies. I feel stuck.
I would recommend several improvements to the email metrics:

Thanks, as always, for the detailed feedback. We'll be launching some email improvements in the next couple of weeks.
