📊 Executive Summary

This report analyses the performance of a 3-email outreach sequence sent via Brevo to promote the Ombudsman Complaints free guide download. The campaign achieved exceptional open rates (52.2%), drove 9,615 website visits, and successfully identified 619 highly engaged prospects ready for follow-up outreach.

🎯 Important Campaign Context

This campaign targeted completely cold leads that were scraped and had no prior relationship with Ombudsman Complaints. The primary objective was to warm up these cold prospects and introduce them to the brand — not to achieve immediate conversions.

While the direct conversion rate appears low, this is expected for cold outreach. The real value lies in the 619 highly engaged contacts who have now been warmed up and are primed for follow-up sales activities. These contacts have demonstrated genuine interest by engaging with multiple emails throughout the campaign.
