The stack behind the sends

Cotopaxi sends with Bloomreach and publishes a DMARC none policy.

Sends with

Bloomreach

Domain authentication

DMARC: none

Failures are monitored but still delivered, so the policy is not enforced yet.

SPF also authorizes Mailgun to send as this domain, which usually means other tools sit alongside Bloomreach.

The median Cotopaxi campaign carries 18 images.

How this is measured

Every figure comes from real Cotopaxi emails captured in Inbox Archive, not from a survey or a vendor report. Medians and the campaign mix appear once a brand has 12 campaigns archived, and the day and time charts once 12 of them are scheduled sends. “Typical Fashion & Apparel brand” is the median across the 29 Fashion & Apparel brands that clear the same bar, each counted once however much it sends. Campaign types are sorted automatically. Discounts are read from subject lines, and a copyable code counts only when one appears in the email, so offers applied at checkout are missed.
