Highlights & Summary

Email Marketing Overview: The snacks industry experienced a slight uptick in email activity, averaging 6.87 emails per brand. Kind Snacks emerged as a leader, sending 12 emails with a stellar performance score of 72.08%. Misfits Health and Magic Spoon closely follow, demonstrating robust email strategies. Perfect Snacks, however, lags in performance, struggling with both scoring and promotion percentages. Executives are advised to strengthen Perfect Snacks' overall email strategy for enhanced engagement.

Email Deliverability Insights: Deliverability remains a key strength for brands in the snacks industry. Verb Energy shines with an outstanding spam score and optimal email size, securing its position as a deliverability leader. Brands like Feed and Chomps, although excelling in email size, face challenges in spam management. Partake Foods, despite its small email volume, shows significant deliverability issues, emphasizing the need for improvement. Milk Bar, with an absence of email engagement, compensates with a solid spam score and email size, showcasing balanced deliverability.

Magic Spoon and Aloha lead with 119 and 99 ads, respectively, displaying a diverse and engaging advertising strategy. Perfect Snacks also excels, with 76 ads and a significant social media presence. In contrast, Misfits Health and Verb Energy struggle with limited ad diversity, warranting attention to enhance their advertising impact.
