The size of your email list should take into account not only the average open rate as an email marketing benchmark, but also the conversion rate. No matter how big your business is, however, you should strive to have at least 1000 subscribers. If this number is any lower, you run the risk of having a too-low number of conversions. On average, half of your email list subscribers will be interested in your product or services, while the other half is less so. “You must comply with applicable laws, including anti-spam laws, such as the CAN-SPAM Act in the United States or the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union so please research these regulations or seek legal advice for your specific situation.” Nice work!
