Highlights & Summary

Email Marketing Overview: Peloton leads the sports tech industry with a powerful email marketing strategy, sending 16 impactful emails with a remarkable performance score of 63%. Hydrow closely follows with 25 emails and an impressive 65% performance score. While Oru Kayak and Theragun show strength in email volume, Oru Kayak's balanced approach earns it a fair performance rating. Tonal and Joovv, though performing decently, have room for improvement. Brands like Tempo Fit, FightCamp, and Ergatta lag in both email volume and performance and should refine their strategies for a more competitive edge.

Hydrow and Theragun also exhibit strong advertising impact, ensuring a well-rounded market presence.
