InboxAware: Email Inbox Placement, Deliverability and Reputation Monitoring
Delivering emails to the inbox is frustrating for legitimate businesses as spammers continue to abuse and damage the industry. Because sending emails is so easy and inexpensive, spammers can jump from ESP to ESP or even script their emails from server to server. Internet service providers (ISPs) have been forced to authenticate senders, build reputations on sending IP addresses and domains, and check each email level to try and catch the culprits.
Unfortunately, through an abundance of caution, businesses often find themselves hung up in the algorithms, and their emails are routed directly to the junk filter. When routed to the junk folder, the email was technically delivered, and, as a result, companies are oblivious that their subscribers never received their message. While deliverability used to be directly attributed to the quality of your email service provider, deliverability is now dependent purely on algorithms.
Regardless of whether you’ve built your service, are on a shared IP address, or a dedicated IP address… it’s critical to monitor your inbox placement. And, if you happen to be migrating to a new service provider and warming up an IP address, monitoring is a critical process to ensure your subscribers see your messages.
To properly monitor whether their email made it to the inbox rather than the junk folder, you must deploy seed lists of subscribers across ISPs. This enables email marketers to monitor inbox placement and then troubleshoot issues at the authentication, reputation, or email levels to identify why their emails may be routed to junk folders.
