Short answer
Email conversion rate is the percentage of email recipients or clickers who complete a desired action, such as a purchase or sign-up, after engaging with an email. Calculations vary, so the denominator should be stated clearly. It connects email performance to business outcomes more directly than opens or clicks alone.
