WHAT ABOUT AUSTRALIA?
GetResponse found that 23.8% of all email opens occur during
the first hour after an email is delivered. After 24 hours, an
email’s chance of being opened drops to less than 1%.

List cleansing is an activity that so few marketers want to do
because there’s a sense that your business isn’t legit unless you
have a “large list.” But how many subscribers do you have to have
in order to have a large list? No one can answer that question
because there is no answer to it; there is no ideal number. It’s not
about quantity. List size is a vanity metric. List quality pays the
bills.
If your open rate is below your industry average, it’s likely time to
clean your list.
