Regional A7 club magazine costs

[Tony Press]

Mailchimp tells me we have an average open rate of 86% on our Club mailings.

Bear in mind that email opening stats only work if the recipient is opening with images enabled rather than plain text. Open rates are then embellished with stats if the reader clicks on a link. That might be a contributor to Tony's lower apparent opening rates, especially if Tony's emails have less clickable content in them.

I don't use Mailchimp for the Magazine (something about you cannot have attachments)  so there is no image usually just text although the sender sometimes includes a link to some information.

My personal email has been used for a number of years so doesn't usually get rejected.

I suppose opening doesn't mean read and understood.
