Since we had to change our newsletter sender address, our open rate has dropped by about 50%—mostly because many emails are being routed to Junk/Spam. The fastest way to fix this is simple: if you find our newsletter in your Junk/Spam folder, please move it to your inbox and mark it “Not Spam.”
As more people do this, email providers will start placing the newsletter back in inboxes and our open rates should return to normal.
