More Meaningful Metrics: Four Tips for Marketers Post-Apple iOS 15 Privacy Updates

Apple's iOS 15 update has caused quite a stir for marketers with its new privacy features that restrict user data collection. These features give users the option to refuse trackers, hide their IP address and obscure their email address. Instead of panicking, marketers should view these changes as an opportunity to implement new, more effective email strategies.

Data privacy concerns are increasing, and Apple is not the only company responding to these concerns. Other companies must follow suit or risk losing market share. Marketers should focus on customer-first communications instead of using email as a megaphone, which will increase sales and positive relationships with customers.

Instead of relying on open rate as the main metric for email campaign success, marketers should track more meaningful metrics such as CTR and conversions. Personalization and multichannel strategies are also important, and technology such as AI and real-time A/B testing can provide marketers with more tools to create meaningful engagement.
