What are email Unsubscribe links?

It's a link in the email campaign which allows your users to unsubscribe from your mailing list. While it might be painful to see your users leave, in the longer term, this turns out to be beneficial for you. 

Why do you need an Unsubscribe link in the first place?

  • It avoids frustration on user’s ends. You are left with only engaged users which helps with open rate and overall deliverability score.
  • They serve as feedback towards the quality of your email content. If you are getting a lot of unsubscribes, you probably need to sharpen your content.
  • It avoids spam! In the absence of an unsubscribe link, your users will end up marking your emails as spam and as you’d have already figured out by now, nothing could be worse. Unsubscribe gives them a clean way to leave the house.
