Email Deliverability - Ensuring Your Messages Reach the Inbox
The success of your email marketing depends on your ability to get your messages to your audience. Getting your emails into the inbox is called email deliverability, and it is a complex process that can be affected by a variety of factors. This article will explore some of the most important factors that affect email deliverability, and how you can optimize your email marketing strategy to ensure your messages are delivered to your audience’s inboxes.
Email deliverability is the amount of time your emails spend in the inbox of your recipients rather than in spam or marketing folders. It is a combination of a number of different factors, including your email program’s technical setup, the quality of your email list, and how your audience engages with your content.
To increase your email deliverability, you need to build a solid reputation as a trustworthy sender. This means building a clean, active list of subscribers, honoring unsubscribe requests, and maintaining a low spam complaint rate. It also means providing valuable, relevant content that will engage your audience and drive positive engagement.
ISPs have to be wary of spammers, so they tend to trust brands with a good reputation more than ones with a bad one. Having strong authentication protocols in place can help you maintain a good sender score and improve your email deliverability.
A common mistake that can damage your email deliverability is purchasing an email list and sending emails to people who did not give you explicit permission to do so. Instead, use methods that ensure your email list is compiled of valid users, such as using double opt-in for sign ups and requiring consent from every new user on your list.
In addition to following best practices, you should also regularly check your email reputation with tools like MxToolbox and QuickMail. These tools will let you know if your IP or domain is blacklisted, which can drastically reduce your deliverability rates. Moosend regularly monitors blacklists and notifies clients when their IP or domain is listed on them, helping them to navigate the process of getting off the blacklist as soon as possible.
Increasing your email deliverability requires knowledge, a lot of testing and adjusting, and following guidelines set by the major ISPs. However, if you invest the time and effort into optimizing your email strategy and ensuring your IP or domain isn’t being blacklisted, you will be well on your way to seeing your carefully-crafted emails in your recipients’ inboxes.
Ultimately, improving your email deliverability will not only increase the number of messages that are sent to your audience, but will also improve their effectiveness.
By making it easier for your recipients to access and read your messages, they will be more likely to engage with them and take action. This will lead to better brand awareness, more conversions, and a stronger ROI for your business. This is what makes email marketing so effective at reaching and engaging your target audience.
