Can anyone share their email test results for mobile / non-mobile friendly opens?

I'm at a small nonprofit with no budget for custom design templates, sadly. So what I'm about to offer doesn't answer your question regarding open/response rates for mobile-friendly vs. not, but it may prove to be a helpful end-around for you.


As you know, trying to read a NetCommunity-generated email on a phone is an exercise in frustration. To help overcome that, I've just decided to design all our emails in a table that's 480 pixels wide (the maximum width for phones to view in landscape mode). When you're designing your email, click on the "View HTML" button and copy/paste the following:


<style type="text/css"><!--

@media only screen and (max-width: 480px){ .emailImage{ height:auto !important; max-width:600px !important; width: 100% !important; } }

--></style>

<table align="center" border="0" style="width: 480px;">

<tbody>

<tr>


This will give you a basic table you can modify to suit your needs, but it will only be 480 pixels wide and will center on the recipient's screen, regardless of whether it's a computer monitor, tablet, phone, etc. 


It's not an ideal solution, but it's at least better. Ideal would be if emails would automatically resize to whatever device is being used by the viewer!
