Dos and Don’ts for Best Email Deliverability

Dos and Don’ts for Best Email Deliverability

Let’s be honest, if your emails aren’t being delivered you risk wasting your marketing dollars and your marketing message may not reach your intended audience. Even worse, your message could end up being misidentified and triggered into a user’s SPAM folder. Luckily, our team has compiled a list of dos and don’ts that will help you increase email deliverability this year.

Dos:

Make sure your subject line reflects the content within your email. Doing this will prevent readers from assuming the email is spam.
Provide a valid postal address in your footer as well as an option to opt-in or out of future marketing emails. This will ensure that your email is compliant with privacy regulations
Keep your creative to 80% text and 20% images.
Create a noticeable and clear CTA (Call-to-action) above the fold.

Don’ts:

Avoid SPAM phrases associated with gifts, promises of free gifts, and excessive punctuation or symbols such as (!!!, *&^%$**, ????).
Try to avoid using red text and ALL CAPS as this could trigger SPAM filters.
Don’t deploy your email with missing contact information. It is the law to insert your business address in the footer of your emails.
