Highlights & Summary

Email Marketing Overview : In the fast-paced activewear industry of November 2023, NO BULL and Born Primitive emerge as frontrunners with 43 and 26 impactful emails, boasting high email scores of 59.21% and 43.77%, respectively. SET Active and Senita Athletics closely follow, displaying promising performances in both email quantity and quality. However, Lorna Jane Active and Tracksmith struggle, lacking in both email volume and scoring, signaling a need for strategic adjustments to stay competitive.

Email Deliverability Insights : Recess Activewear, Tracksmith, and Born Primitive lead in email deliverability, showcasing low spam scores and efficient email sizes. On the flip side, Ryderwear faces challenges, marked by a high spam score and suboptimal email size, necessitating improvements in their email delivery strategy. While POPFLEX Active exhibits potential in email delivery, it falls short in email scoring, indicating a need for a balanced approach to enhance overall email performance.

Ads Performance : Billabong and Fabletics dominate the advertising landscape with 124 and 115 ads, respectively, displaying not only high velocity but also a diverse range of unique copies. Born Living Yoga stands out for social ad diversity, combining a substantial number of images and videos. However, SET Active struggles in both ad velocity and diversity, signaling a need for a more dynamic and engaging advertising strategy. In a visually-driven market, a rich mix of images and videos proves crucial for brand engagement and recall, an area where Born Living Yoga excels.
