Good email open rate expectation

Question
What’s a good open rate by recipients for an email marketing campaign? 
Answer
Acceptable email open rates depend on whom you're sending to. For business-to-consumer (B to C) email, the range is from 30% to 39%, while the range for business-to-business (B to B) is 10% to 29%.

Of 13 categories measured during one study, restaurants had the highest open rates and retail had the lowest.
