As marketers, we often take for granted the technical complexities that take place when sending an email from one address to another. We are so accustomed to pressing a button and having thousands, if not millions, of emails sent to their intended destination, with no questions asked. If we do have issues in delivering those messages, we are often told (typically by yours truly) that the reason for non-delivery is reputation related, and that there is work to be done on the...

Although we all want to live in a world where every email message goes directly to the inbox, sometimes that isn’t a reality. I speak with many different types of marketers in many different types of situations. A fairly common scenario is when a new person takes a new role and inherits a less than desirable deliverability situation. We occasionally deal with situations where something goes horribly wrong, and you may find yourself in one of those tough spots. Where do you...

Chances are you’ve seen some recent news or heard rumors about Verizon email addresses going away. That is both true and false.

The goal here is to outline the facts and provide direction for marketers on what to do with all the Verizon addresses in your list. If you’ve been following...

Several times over the past few weeks, I’ve spoken with either prospects or new clients about their “email” history. I’ve now heard the idea of a pre-warmed dedicated IP, from multiple senders, on a couple of different platforms. It takes me back every time that I hear it, mostly because it must be presented in such a way that it actually inspires confidence. I immediately feel bad for the sender, because most of the time they were so misled that they didn’t go through a...

It doesn’t take a Political Science degree to see that there isn’t a lot that the American electorate can agree upon nowadays. If you dare to take a few minutes to read through your Facebook feed you’ll be inundated with post after post arguing about immigration policy, healthcare reform, environmental regulations, and the merits of the Electoral College system. Despite all this partisan polarization, there are thankfully some issues that still unite Americans across age...

In the course of a few minutes, mass marketing campaigns are deployed to audiences consisting of tens of thousands. To think that it was just a few years ago, when any type of marketing communication took days to make its way through our postal service, before it got in front of its...

“What can I do to reduce unsubscribes?” It’s a tough subject for many marketers. Email remains one of the best ways to communicate with consumers directly, but the effectiveness of the channel is contingent upon maintaining deliverability health to ensure messages get to the inbox. A critical component of this is letting customers opt-out on their own terms—as quickly and easily as possible. Many senders depend on the size of their list to drive everything from internal...
