While email is a cornerstone of modern business, achieving high inbox placement – where your email isn’t delivered to the junk or spam folder – can be an uphill battle. Many companies face the frustration of their messages never making the inbox and reaching their intended audience. Whether it’s a new sending domain, sending IP, a dormant account, or the sheer volume of emails sent, sender reputation is critical in ensuring deliverability. Even the most well-crafted email campaigns can falter without proper email warming, robust authentication protocols, or ongoing monitoring.
What is Email Warming?
Email warming is the process of gradually building a positive reputation for a new or dormant email account, domain, or sending IP. Simulating natural email interactions helps prevent emails from being flagged as spam and ensures they reach recipients’ inboxes. Below are the key activities involved in email warming:
- Gradual Increase in Sends: Slowly ramp up the number of emails sent from the account over time to avoid triggering spam filters. This signals to ISPs that the sender is credible and not engaging in bulk spamming.
- Simulated Engagement: Ensure emails are opened, clicked, and replied to by recipients (real or simulated) to demonstrate positive interaction with your messages. This activity helps improve the sender’s reputation with ISPs.
- Consistent Activity: Maintain frequent and recent activity, such as opens, clicks, and replies, to keep the account active and in good standing with email providers.
- Diverse Interactions: Include a mix of email actions like marking messages as important, forwarding them, and archiving to simulate organic email behavior.
- Validation of Authentication Records: Ensure proper configuration of SPF, DKIM, and DMARC settings to authenticate emails and establish domain credibility.
- Blacklist Monitoring: Regularly check blacklists that might affect the sending IP address for the domain your email is delivered from, addressing issues promptly if detected.
- Segmented Initial Sends: Begin with highly engaged contacts more likely to open and interact with emails, signaling positive engagement metrics to ISPs.
These activities collectively build a strong sender reputation, ensuring future emails land in inboxes rather than spam folders.
