Ensuring Email Marketing Delivery

You've built a list of targeted email addresses, and have written a killer email ready to be sent, but you must also ensure that your email is likely to be delivered to all of the intended recipients, or at least to a very good majority of them. There will be some natural wastage in your email marketing list and there will be some recipients that simply don't open your emails but doing everything you can to help improve your delivery rate is a vital part to the early stages of your email marketing campaign.

Delivery can be prevented for a number of reasons. You don't have to be blacklisted for spam in order for your email to be filtered by spam filters. If you use certain blacklisted words then you have an equally high chance of reducing your delivery rate. ISPs and even free email providers tend to offer their own spam filters too, and this means that if are eventually blacklisted then you could be prevented from delivering your emails to any other addresses with the same host.

Email delivery is an important consideration in email marketing campaigns. Even using the wrong ISP or outbound email server could cause your email to fall even before the first hurdle. Send a test run and avoid the use of adult, gambling, and other spam related keywords. You should also avoid the use of certain types of code within your email and absolutely avoid doing anything that might be deemed unethical in your email marketing process.
