I just tried out the free trial of iContact also. Kind of cool. I just don't know if I want to pay $10 every month to find out the same 45 people opened my newsletter and that so many people didn't. 
I have a 40% opens rate on my Feb. newsletter. I wonder if it will be 40% every month, you know?! I only had 6 clicks, but wonder if knowing this is really going to change anything I do. I don't think iContact did anything extra to get this to people's inboxes more successfully, right? Maybe I'm wrong on that though. So I don't think I'm going to pay for the service beyond the free trial. If anyone has any insight to this, please let me know. TIA!
