3. Email Deliverability Strategy and Tracking Of all online customers 66% chose to make a purchase because of an email marketing message. (Direct Marketing Association) 91% of email users check their email at least once a day (Exact Target) Promotional emails impact more than 70% of mobile purchases. (Yesmail) ©2018 Ted Hart @tedhart
3. Email Deliverability Strategy and Tracking Is your email and domain Blacklisted? Check: https://mxtoolbox.com/domain 30-40% of subscribers likely use Gmail 20-30% of subscribers likely use Microsoft (Hotmail/Outlook) Only email to “known good” email addresses you have permission to use. Emailing regularly to abandoned or bouncing emails could mark your entire domain on blacklists. Unsubscribe obviously bad addresses Resource: The New Rules for Email Deliverability ©2018 Ted Hart @tedhart
4. Maintain Good List Hygiene Tip 1: Remove addresses that bounce All email addresses “atrophy” over time. There are two types of bounces: the hard bound and the soft bounce. Hard Bounce: “Hard bounces” are when there’s a permanent reason why an email fails to be delivered. This could be either a non-existent email address or domain name. More often, this is because the user has actively blocked delivery or changed email addresses. Soft Bounce: “Soft bounces” are when there’s a temporary delivery issue which results in email delivery failure. Soft bounces commonly occur because the user has a full mailbox, a temporarily offline server, or a message too large to send. ©2018 Ted Hart @tedhart
4. Maintain Good List Hygiene Tip 2: Clean up Your List Repeated attempts to mail invalid or inactive email address negatively impacts your metrics and your delivery rates. Use Third Party Vendors: can help with this process. Third party vendors will remove misspelled addresses, remove spam, and test your email addresses. Such proactive measures can have a big impact on your deliverability. Non-Responders: If people aren’t engaging with your messages, stop sending them emails after 6 months. Delete Role Accounts: For example, all email addresses that begin with abuse@, support@, and info@ will be deleted. Often these emails haven’t opted in, so it’s best to get them off your list. ©2018 Ted Hart @tedhart
4. Maintain Good List Hygiene Tip 3: “Re-Engagement Campaign” One way to re-engage inactive subscribers is through a re- engagement email campaign. Send Test Emails: If an email has been inactive for six months or more, then it may be considered “inactive.” Try to re-engage your email subscribers before you dump them from your list. Send that group of inactive subscribers a few emails. Use a different subject line for each one, see if you can pique some interest.

4. Maintain Good List Hygiene Tip 4: Get Email Confirmation One of the best ways to maintain a healthy email list is to confirm your subscriptions. The marketing term applied to this method is the “double opt- in.” This simply means that a second email is sent to a subscriber, asking them to click a link to confirm their subscription. This ensures you’re emailing those who want to hear from you and that their email address is correct. Examples: https://emailmonks.com/emailoptin/infographic.html ©2018 Ted Hart @tedhart
4. Maintain Good List Hygiene Tip 5: Send the Right Content The right content, or more specifically, the right subject line means that when your emails land in someone’s primary email account, you have a better chance of them actually opening your emails. Use CTAs: Clear and compelling email calls-to-action are one of the best ways to keep people engaged with your email after they’ve opened it. 75 CTA examples: https://www.campaignmonitor.com/blog/email- marketing/2016/03/75-call-to-actions-to-use-in-email- marketing-campaigns/ ©2018 Ted Hart @tedhart
5. Big Data/ Big Picture, do you know where the relationship started? Build on what is working. Don’t work in a silo, bring all your data together, as best you can, to create the big picture. ©2018 Ted Hart @tedhart
