Biggest opportunity: “email” isn't earning a slot. You list it, but you're not in the first 24 results for that search. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 200 of 10.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Email & Marketing plugin keeps 0.9%, across 1,295 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Email & Marketing plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

Totally worth the money ( *just 15 usd ) for the pro, but also the free version is really nice.Would be good to combine this plugin with the WooCommerce edition so that there are less plugins and less files etc…
