Monitoring and improving your email deliverability

HiveBuddy March 31, 2023

Monitoring and improving your email deliverability is crucial for the success of your email marketing campaigns. Here are some strategies for monitoring and improving your email deliverability:

  1. Monitor your email deliverability: Use email deliverability monitoring tools to track your email deliverability rates and identify any potential issues. You can also monitor your email engagement rates, such as open rates and click-through rates, to gauge the effectiveness of your emails.
  2. Check your email list quality: Regularly check your email list for invalid email addresses, spam traps, and inactive subscribers. Removing these from your list improves your email deliverability rates and reduces the likelihood of your emails being marked as spam.
  3. Test your emails: Test your emails before sending them to your entire list. This includes testing for email content, formatting, and spam filters. Use an email testing tool to check your emails against common spam filters and ensure they reach the inbox.
  4. Use a reputable email service provider: Use a reputable email service provider that follows best practices and has good deliverability rates. This improves your email deliverability rates and ensures that your emails are not blocked by ISPs.
  5. Maintain a good sender reputation: Maintain a good sender reputation by sending relevant and engaging emails to your subscribers. This helps you avoid being marked as spam and improves your email deliverability rates.
  6. Stay compliant with email regulations: Stay compliant with email regulations, such as the CAN-SPAM Act and GDPR, to avoid being penalized and damaging your sender reputation.
  7. Use segmentation and personalization: Use segmentation and personalization to send targeted and relevant emails to your subscribers. This improves your email engagement rates and reduces the likelihood of your emails being marked as spam.

By implementing these strategies, you can monitor and improve your email deliverability rates and ensure that your emails reach your subscribers' inbox. Remember, as email marketing expert Chad White said, "Deliverability is the first and most important step in reaching the inbox."
