One of the things you fear the most when sending your newsletters is that they will end up in the SPAM folder. It may seem like a battle that is impossible to win, but if you are a serious sender, there is significantly less risk of your emails avoiding the recipients\u2019 inbox.<\/p>\n
You can read more about the definition of SPAM here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Here are a number of good advice on how to best ensure that your emails actually end up in the recipient’s inbox.<\/p>\n 1.\u00a0Avoid inactive recipients on your lists [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/marketingplatform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/spam-folder.jpg” alt=”Spam emails are coming out of the laptop’s screen like they are holograms.” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” module_class=”image-border” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”30px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”] 2.\u00a0Do not be afraid to delete inactive recipients 3.\u00a0The content must be in order 4. Be careful with a bad code <\/strong><\/p>\n A bad program email template or content in the email could be enough for the SPAM filters to react. An example could be a content that is copied directly from Word or other word processing program.<\/p>\n 5.\u00a0Be careful with sender name 6. Personalize the email <\/strong><\/p>\n If possible, insert the name of the recipient of the email via a merge field, which the SPAM filters can see that you actually know the recipient of the newsletter.\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n 7.\u00a0Consider the frequency of broadcasts 8. Be careful with words <\/strong><\/p>\n Words like free<\/a>, money, cash, win etc. are typically words used in spam<\/a> world. Also avoid phrases like click here, last chance, hurry up and similar. Do not shout at the receiver by using only capital letters, and do not use excessive exclamation marks. In general, avoid making strange formatting with the text, using many colors and bad coding.<\/p>\n 9.\u00a0Text is better than images 10. Seek engagement from your newsletter recipients <\/strong><\/p>\n Make sure to create a content that the recipient wants to interact with.<\/p>\n 11. Split test your emails <\/strong><\/p>\n Use the split test feature to constantly test what type of content the newsletter recipient is most responsive to. Test headings, sender name, content etc. continuously to find the best possible result.<\/p>\n 12. Set DKIM and SPF<\/strong><\/p>\n By using a setup with SPF and DKIM (for larger customers), you strongly help to avoid ending up in the SPAM folder. In short, you use SPF to tell the other mail servers which mail servers your domain uses to send out your emails. If your mail server is on the list, there is a good chance that your mail will go through to the inbox. If not, there is a great chance of ending up in the SPAM folder. DKIM is a digital signature<\/a> of the emails that are sent. You can read more here with a comprehensive review on “How to use SPF and DKIM<\/a>“.<\/p>\n 13. Spam test your ema<\/strong><\/p>\n Use a tool such as, for example,\u00a0https:\/\/www.mail-tester.com\/<\/a> to test if your emails have a chance of ending up in SPAM. Make sure that you create a mailing list only with the email addresses https:\/\/www.mail-tester.com\/ for web-6rqqc@mail-tester.com (check on the website if this is still the current email address) and then make sure to send your completed email to this. If you do this, it will include values \u200b\u200bfrom your DKIM setup etc. therefore give a better picture.<\/p>\n 14. Check up on your automation flows<\/a> regularly<\/strong><\/p>\n It is recommended to keep an eye on set up flows regularly so that it is ensured that some by error do not receive a large amount of emails in a way<\/a> that irritates them, and therefore ignore your emails – which then damages your “sending reputation”.<\/p>\n 15. Make it easy for people to unsubscribe<\/strong><\/p>\n Getting a complaint about SPAM is one of the last things you want. It is therefore important that it is made easy for people to unsubscribe from your list. Make the link appear clearly in your emails so people do not need to look for it or get the feeling that they are “caught” by your emails, and remember that opting out of your newsletter is not necessarily a bad thing. It is just an indication that the person does not want to follow you anymore – and at the same time prevents having annoyed customers.<\/p>\n If you comply with the above guidelines you will have been helped well on the way in the goal of ensuring that your emails reach all the way to the inbox.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” module_class=”ressourcer-signup” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#dee7f1″ background_enable_color=”off” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”12%||||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”17%||||false|false” top_divider_style=”asymmetric2″ top_divider_color=”#ffffff” top_divider_height=”60px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#152872″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”||10px” custom_padding=”100px||100px||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”50px|20px|50px|20px|false|false” custom_padding_phone=”40px||||false|false” border_radii=”on|22px|22px|22px|22px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ header_2_font=”|800|||||||” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The trial period is free, completely non-binding and expires after 14 days if you do not wish to continue.

<\/strong>An inactive recipient, i.e. a person who does not open your newsletters is potentially a bad contact. Not only do you waste time on these recipients, but worse is that they destroy your ability to deliver to the recipients who want your email marketing<\/a> messages.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>Many people do not want to clean their lists. However, this is a wrong approach, that can be directly harmful, if you want as many as possible to receive your newsletter. Try to engage and involve the recipients of the newsletter<\/a>. For example, make a questionnaire and collect more information about the recipient of the newsletter – and use that information to create<\/a> sharp segments, where you can hit the recipient even better<\/p>\n
<\/strong>The content must be a combination of images, graphic elements and real text. Emails that appear 100% graphic, ie. often with a large image, will not have the same ability to be delivered to the recipients\u2019 inbox. Just as the email will generally not have effect. Read about the correct structure of the email marketing template online here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>If people do not know the name of the sender, in the big pile of many newsletters that they receive, there is a greater risk that the recipient will mark an email as spam<\/a> if he or she does not know the sender name. Therefore, think about using a combination of the company\u2019s name and the name of the person who sends the newsletter.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>Do not suddenly send out a lot of emails if you have not used your lists for a long time. A significant, sudden increase can spark the interest of spam filters.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>Always make sure that you have a predominance of text in relation to images. You also need to have a good amount of text in relation to the number of links in the email.<\/p>\nTry MarketingPlatform for free for 14 days<\/h2>\n
