I keep getting interesting signals about user behavior with email distribution. Sent out a Labubu post summary via email list—you know, the excerpt with a link to the full piece. The numbers were eye-opening: only 3% actually clicked through to read it. And the login conversion? Even worse.
It's making me rethink the whole approach. Turns out sending complete posts directly in emails performs significantly better. People engage more when they don't have to jump through hoops. The friction of clicking a link, waiting for a page to load—that's enough to kill most readers.
Anyone else running into this? The data keeps pushing me toward full-content email strategy rather than teasers.

A 3% click-through rate is indeed outrageous; I've also encountered this situation.

3% click-through rate... I honestly find it unbelievable. This summary strategy definitely needs to be improved.

3% click-through rate? There's already a problem with this data; the actual engagement level of truly dormant wallets

ngl the teaser link play was always sus from a game theory perspective... but yeah, friction cost is non-trivial. historical precedent in attention economics suggests your inbox real estate is already a scarce resource, arguably wasted on bounce traffic. the path dependency here is wild tho—once you train people to just... read in-email, good luck getting them back to your site lol

3% click-through rate? SMH. This data is indeed terrible. I also fell into this trap a while ago.

3% click-through rate haha, sending the full text email is the real winner.
