How often have you opened an email without reading the email content, just to reduce that dreaded ‘Unread’ messages counter?

I can’t be the only one.

In fact, these days, it feels like the open rate is to emails what follower count is to social media accounts.

Nice to look at, but doesn’t always result in conversions.

This means email open rate — though
