About audience analytics

The Audience analytics page gives you important subscription and growth data about the contacts in your audience. Select an audience to see its total number of contacts, with a breakdown of that number into subscribed, non-subscribed, and unsubscribed contacts.

Select one of the date range options to see your average subscribed and non-subscribed contacts in the Contacts by status section, and to view your net subscriber growth in the What’s changed section.

Contacts by status

The Contacts by status section shows you the number of subscribed, unsubscribed, and non-subscribed contacts for the date range you selected. Non-subscribed contacts can’t receive your marketing emails, but they can receive your ads, postcards, and transactional emails. To learn more about how to use non-subscribed contacts, check out our About Non-Subscribed Contacts article. Subscribed, unsubscribed, and non-subscribed contacts count toward your monthly plan limit.

What's changed

In the What’s changed section you’ll see the percentage of change in your net and average net subscriber growth. The graph shows the net growth of subscribers, which is the number of subscribers minus the number of unsubscribes in the same time period.
