Return Path has just released a new version of its popular "Inbox Placement" tool. Benchmark Report". I'll leave it to you to download the new version of this report, and I'll concentrate on just one section of the report, the one devoted to Gmail tabs.
Placement and open rates in Gmail's "Promotion" tab (versus "Primary" tab)
This is probably the first time that we receive such a nice summary table of the impact of the "Promotion" tab in Gmail. We can notice that for some sectors the impact is almost zero (Communication, Clothing, Nonprofit, ...) while for others, it is not negligible ... and not always in the way we imagine.

Reading content isn't everything. The best way is to talk to us.
We can see that for some sectors, the opening rate of messages is much better when they are in the Promotion tab! This means (as Badsender has always said) that what is good for the quality of your conso's email box is good for you (still, you must be respectful of your subscribers đ ).
