The service that we use to send out the weekly and monthly mailings is called Constant Contact, a company with headquarters in Waltham, MA. They recently provided some interesting, surprising, and somewhat depressing stats.

Interesting... we sent 53 mailings in the last year, with an average open rate of 52%. Half of you opened emails on a desktop, and the other half on mobile phones.

Depressing - The most opened emails are the ones about someone passing away.
