Do these stats match up with your email list? You are most likely sending to a ton of Gmail users, so it’s important to focus your email marketing efforts on this email provider.

Engage your subscribers, maintain high open and click rates, and finally, simply ask your wonderful subscribers to move your messages to the Primary inbox! (Stat Source: MailChimp)
