Another infographic – this time from our friends at Return Path.

It mirrors much of what we are seeing in our own stats and reinforces the importance of optimising your emails for mobile. Here are a few outtakes for you.

Consumers still don’t trust their phones security-wise but I expect that will change very quickly as banks roll out secure and useful apps.

The main takeaway for us is that people check their emails on multiple devices daily. You need to be thinking about mobile first.

Think mobile first.
