Cold emails not working? This might be the reason 👇 Overloading sender's addresses. Many SDRs and marketers push too many emails from a single sender’s address, which results in their emails getting flagged as spam. Over time, this can even lead to the domain being blacklisted ❗ Solution? Divide the email volume. Here’s simple formula to calculate the total number of email addresses and secondary domains you need to avoid being flagged: 📧 Total Email Addresses = Total Email Volume / 50 🌐 Total Secondary Domains = Total Email Addresses / 3 You can maintain a healthy sender reputation and increase deliverability by properly distributing your email volume. Check out the link given below to learn more about email volume and ESPs & sending limits. Don’t let your emails end up in spam folders. Scale smartly!

Are your email campaigns landing in spam? Here's what's killing your open rates: Your sending pattern is too regular. Spam filters are smart. They detect uniform send times and intervals. I learned this the hard way. My open rates dropped earlier this year. Here’s what I did to fix it: - I changed my sending times every day - I added irregular gaps between emails The impact was clear. My emails started landing in the inbox again. Why does it work? Irregular patterns mimic human behavior. This makes spam filters see your emails as more genuine. P.S. Want better open rates? Start varying your sending times and intervals.

Gmail is constantly changing the email game but these simple steps still give you control over who you see in your Primary inbox tab. Drag and drop Garity's emails from the Promotions tab to your Primary tab and click "Yes" when asked if you want all future emails from us to land in your Primary tab. Click for more details and see you in your Primary tab, Gmail users! :)

Did you know that your IP address can get blocked and seriously harm your email deliverability rate? Yes, you read that right. If your emails are sent from an IP address that has been flagged for spam, your messages could bounce or land in spam folders. Even if another sender was responsible for the spam (which can be your Email Marketer or the agency you work with) the consequences still affect YOU. This means that even if your list is clean, and your flows & campaigns are very good, your emails could still be definitely be spam blocked. Yikes! Imagine paying a good amount only to experience this pitfall..... Now, here's why this matters: 1. Blocked IP = Bounced Emails Services like Gmail block IP addresses if enough users mark emails from that IP as spam. Once blocked, emails sent from the same IP are likely to bounce, even if they’re legitimate. 2. Damaged Sender Reputation Email providers associate a bad IP with spammy behaviour. This hurts your sender reputation, lowering the chances of your emails reaching inboxes in the future. 3. Missed Opportunities Every email that bounces or lands in spam represents a missed chance to connect with your audience, nurture leads, or generate sales. Here's How to Avoid This Issue Please, please refrain from trusting anyone online who doesn't have real, proven results 😕

Cold email tip 💡 Pay attention at your bounce rate especially when you want to scale your cold email campaigns. At scale, a bounce rate that could be considered low like 5/6% can get your sending accounts in spam so make sure to monitor it. At low volume, the bounce rate % is a bit meaningless though as in absolute numbers it's too low to have any impact. For example: • 10 emails, 1 bounce = 10% bounce rate --> absolutely no impact since it's only 1 bounce • 1,000 emails, 100 bounces = 10% bounce rate --> here you should worry! My personal rule of thumb: I start to worry if I get > 5% bounce on > 1,000 emails, as this indicates a potential reputation problem on my domains. The primary thing you need to do to keep your bounce rate low is to have good email data. And for that, you can use Findymail to get peace of mind at all times 😎 ------ Happy Saturday!

Common Pitfalls to Avoid When Warming Up Emails 1️⃣ Sending Too Many Emails Too Soon Ramping up your email volume too quickly can harm your sender's reputation and lead to your emails being marked as spam. 2️⃣ Ignoring Engagement Rates Low open and engagement rates are red flags for ESPs. Focus on sending emails to recipients who are likely to engage positively. 3️⃣ Using Unverified Email Lists Sending emails to unverified or outdated lists can result in high bounce rates and negatively impact your sender's reputation. 4️⃣ Lack of Authentication Not setting up proper email authentication can lead to poor deliverability and your emails being marked as fraudulent. 5️⃣ Repeating Content Using repetitive or identical content in your warmup emails can trigger spam filters. Diversify your email content to include different subjects, body texts, and formats. 6️⃣ Inconsistent Sending Patterns Erratic or inconsistent sending patterns can cause suspicion among ESPs. Establish a consistent sending schedule and stick to it, gradually increasing your email volume over time to build a solid sender reputation. #emailmarketing #emailwarmup

Don't fall for this one. You see 👀 ... Sending unsolicited emails hurts your reputation in more ways than one because as those recipients did not opt into your email they are more likely to unsubscribe, report it as junk or spam, and email platforms recognize these behaviors, making it harder for you to get into people’s inboxes in the future. What’s more is, you are likely turning away prospects who WOULD HAVE become clients 😩 had you approached it differently, had you positioned yourself in a way to allow them to find you, letting them make the first move. This is why you should NEVER BUY EMAIL LISTS 🙅🏻♀️ because it will result in bounce rates, spam complaints, unsubscribes, and more red flags for email service providers. Not to mention, it is also a violation of the CAN-SPAM Act. YOU CAN WIN REAL INTERESTED LEADS ONLINE.... With proper marketing systems and strategies in place you can have ways for prospects to opt into your email list voluntarily with a much better rate of conversion 👍 #marketing #financialmarketing

Believing these cold email myths? They might be killing your campaigns. Here’s the truth ↓ Myth 1️⃣: More Emails = Better Results Not a reality, in these days: ↳ Quality beats quantity. Focus on a proven, high-quality concept before scaling. ↳ Too many emails from an unproven strategy lead to higher spam complaints. Myth 2️⃣: Unsubscribes Are Always Bad Unsubscribe links in cold emails can be a double-edged sword. ↳ Pro: Some recipients will click "unsubscribe" instead of marking as spam, keeping your list cleaner. ↳ Con: The unsubscribe link itself can trigger spam filters. My approach: Use a “reply with X” option if not interested. Simple and effective. Myth 3️⃣: All Bounces Are the Same They are not. ↳ Hard bounces: Permanent failures—these addresses will never receive your emails. (Start cleaning you lists!) ↳ Soft bounces: Temporary issues—these might resolve over time. Myth 4️⃣: You Don’t Need to Warm Up New Domains Warming up new domains and mailboxes is non-negotiable. ↳ Wait 14-28 days before sending your first email. ↳ Increase your email volume slowly over time. Myth 5️⃣: Open Rate Is the Most Important Metric This is evolving! ↳ Reply rates matter more. Optimize for replies, not just opens. My approach? ↳ Test open rates for 2-3 days, then turn off tracking to reduce spam risk. Focus on successful subject lines to boost reply rates. Got more myths to debunk? Drop them in the comments! And repost if you find this useful! #coldemail #email #outbound
