Highlights & Summary

Email Marketing Summary: Eight Sleep emerges as the leader in the sleeping industry's email marketing game, striking a balance with a high volume of emails and a solid scoring percentage. Sutera Sleep closely follows with a significant number of emails and a good scoring rate, though they should address a relatively high promotion percentage.

Lagging behind are brands like The Sleep Code and Layla Sleep, needing a boost in both volume and performance.

Email Deliverability Summary: Eight Sleep takes the lead in email deliverability, showcasing an impressive spam score and optimal email size. Sutera Sleep and Baloo also perform well in deliverability, overcoming challenges in email size. However, brands like Layla Sleep, Buffy, and The Sleep Code need significant improvements in their deliverability, addressing issues with spam scores and email sizes.

Ads Performance Summary: Brooklinen dominates the advertising landscape in the sleeping industry, publishing the highest number of ads with a diverse range of unique copies. Casper and Purple also exhibit strong advertising performances. Lagging behind are brands like Sutera Sleep and Sleepy Cat, which need to significantly enhance their advertising presence.
