Monitoring list growth through acquisition plays an important role in the success of your email marketing campaigns. The Subscribed Contacts Report provides you with a detailed look at your subscribers over time and their methods of subscription. This report will show the subscribers on the list you are currently viewing. This report shows any contacts who subscribed in the timeframe specified, however contacts may have since unsubscribed.

The Subscribed Contacts Report is available under Analytics > Contact Analytics Subscribed Contacts.


Filtering Options

By default, subscribers acquired over the last 30 days are displayed. Use the pre-set date range selector or calendar icon to select the dates you would like to view. Click Update to refresh the graphics and load the email addresses associated with subscribers during the time period.

💡 The subscribe date always reflects the initial subscription date. So, if a contact is unsubscribed and then resubscribed, the initial subscription date is reflected in this report.


Pie Chart and Graph View

The subscribed contacts analytics page contains two helpful graphs. The bar graph displays the number of contacts subscribed to the list on a given day. Hovering over each bar will display the total number of contacts at the end of the day and the number of existing contacts who were on the list at the end of the last period.

💡 In the legend, click on a specific contact subscribe method to remove it from the bar chart.

The pie chart breaks down new subscribers during the selected timeframe based on their subscription method.
