In the previous
post you learnt how you can grow your business with B2Bdatapartners’ accurate industry
wise contact list. You decide to send them a promotional email in order to educate
them about your products and services. But did you know that 77% of undelivered mails were due to sender
reputation (source: Return Path)? As
ISPs and webmail services get more sophisticated in how they assess incoming
email, your sender reputation plays an ever bigger role in deciding whether
your marketing email makes it to the recipient.
Here are 5 ways to build an
infallible sender reputation.
- Use a dedicated IP address: Your IP address is the email equivalent of a Social Security number or passport. Don’t share it with any other company.
- Keep a clean list: Maintain list hygiene by managing bounces, getting rid of inactive records, surveying your subscribers, and creating a preference center are a few examples.
- Send relevant messages: If your messages are relevant, your subscribers are more likely to engage with them and less likely to complain.
- Ask your subscribers to add you as a ‘Safe Sender’: Most ISPs offer some semblance of what is called “User-level Whitelisting” to their customers. This helps you gain credibility.
- Immediately unsubscribe those who mark you as Spam: Get on the ISPs’ feedback loops to learn about who is marking you as spam. Brand new subscribers and older, inactive subscribers are most likely to complain.
Apart from your content, your
reputation is what will make the difference between your emails being opened or
being marked as spam. Many times, people open emails from a reputed sender even
if the content is irrelevant. Hence taking care of your online reputation in
general and email sender reputation in particular assumes paramount importance
in today’s increasingly digital world.

clean and targeted email lists which will ensure maximum deliverability of all
your emails. Contact them
