The joke is that it’s been “The Year of Mobile” for several years in a row now. What’s not funny is that consumer behavior has seriously outpaced marketer action when it comes to embracing mobile.

Data from Litmus Email Analytics shows that we’ve reached a pretty stable state where roughly half of all emails are read on mobile devices. However, joint research between Litmus and the Salesforce Marketing Cloud demonstrate that marketers still have a way to go to catch up, despite great strides over the past two years.
