What’s really happening in email, SMS, and push marketing this year?

In this data-packed episode, Rytis Lauris (CEO & Co-Founder, Omnisend) joins Jimmy Kim and Chase Dimond to break down performance insights from over 150,000 ecommerce brands - covering 41 billion emails, 694 million SMS, and 869 million push notifications.

They dig into the numbers shaping 2025: open and click trends, conversion rates, automation performance, and the rise of SMS and push as key retention channels. Whether you’re planning your Q4 strategy or want to understand how automation is driving disproportionate revenue, this session gives you the clarity and tactical takeaways you need.

EP 52: 2025 Email & SMS So Far: Data & Insights with Omnisend

Here's what we're diving into:

- Why open rates are falling in automations but rising in campaigns

- What the latest data says about click-throughs, AOV, and unsubscribe trends

- How automations drive 37% of orders while making up just 2% of sends

- The new SMS benchmarks - and why it’s outperforming during high-urgency moments

- Why push notifications are the most underused (and profitable) free channel in ecommerce
