A new study shows a clear link between Facebook activity and higher email open rates. People who spend more time on Facebook tend to open marketing emails more often. Researchers found that active Facebook users are more likely to check their inboxes regularly. This behavior leads to better engagement with email campaigns.

The data comes from a survey of over 5,000 adults across the United States. Participants reported their daily social media habits and email usage. Those who used Facebook at least once a day opened 27% more promotional emails than those who rarely used the platform. The trend held true across age groups and income levels.
Experts say this connection makes sense. Facebook keeps users in a constant state of checking for updates. That habit carries over to email. People get used to looking for new messages. They start checking their email more often too. Marketers can use this insight to plan better campaigns.
Businesses should consider Facebook activity when building email lists. Targeting people who are active on Facebook may boost results. It is not about sending more emails. It is about reaching the right audience. Active social media users are already primed to engage with digital content.
Email service providers are also taking note. Some now offer tools that estimate user engagement based on social media behavior. These tools help brands send emails at the best times. They also help avoid sending messages to inactive users. This saves resources and improves overall performance.

The findings highlight how online behaviors influence each other. Time spent on one platform affects actions on another. Marketers who understand this can create smarter strategies. They can connect with customers in more effective ways.
