Securing Email Deliverability: Ensuring Your Emails Arrive Safely
In the vast sea of the cold email outreach space, getting your messages to reach their destination is like directing a fleet of ships to a specific port. Here's a simplified guide on how to ensure your emails don't get lost in cyberspace but find their way into your lead's inbox.
🔎 Checking Your Email Deliverability Rate
Assessing your email's deliverability rate is like reading a sea chart for the smoothest navigation route. Read this guide on how to check your email deliverability score.
It's important to know that confirming whether a campaign email ends up in the spam folder or inbox necessitates accessing the recipient's account. And due to privacy and technical issues, we can't formulate a system that can precisely discern email landing zones.
🧰 Tools for Detailed Delivery Reports
However, various navigational tools, like Glockapps, Mail Tester, and Mailercheck, can provide detailed delivery reports. These resources generate a list of leads for you to send emails to, and subsequently produce a report based on the number of successfully delivered emails. It's akin to taking a reconnaissance trip before sailing with your full fleet.
⚖ Factors Influencing Email Deliverability
Estimating email deliverability ultimately depends on several factors:
The reputation and age of your domain
The standing of your email service provider's IP
Whether you're utilizing SPF, DKIM, and DMARC
Inclusion of links/images, including open tracking pixels
Getting sneak peeks into your email content's performance is possible with testing tools like Mailercheck. However, no tool can unequivocally determine each email's delivery status.
