Inbox Placement & Email Deliverability Health Check
Partner with Charity Dynamics to optimize the performance of this key fundraising channel for your organization
Email Deliverability and Inbox Placement are closely related concepts that help describe the rate at which emails are delivered to their intended recipients and whether those emails end up in the intended Inbox or are filtered into a SPAM folder.
Many factors can affect these two metrics such as content and design, segmentation and data quality, and email platforms.
Why this Matters?
If your email lands in the recipient’s junk folder, or worse, is blocked from the recipient due to your Sender Rating, you aren’t able to acquire, engage or retain them. It goes deeper than this, of course. As the “sender”, if you regularly end up anywhere but the inbox you will experience a snowball effect on your Sender Reputation – it will steadily and rapidly get worse, resulting in a greater number of emails being blocked.
In Email Marketing your sender reputation is paramount. It is this that determines where your email will end up; the inbox earning revenue and pushing brand awareness, or the junk folder costing you dearly. In the early days of email marketing it was assumed that the Email Service Provider was in full control of a client’s email deliverability. Whilst this was never really the case, it is even less so in current world of email.
There is no silver bullet. You must work to maintain good email deliverability rates; there are no shortcuts.
