Inbox Placement
Inbox placement refers to the successful delivery of emails directly into a recipient’s primary inbox, bypassing spam or junk folders. High inbox placement ensures that marketing campaigns, transactional messages, and essential communications reach their intended audience effectively.
Deliverability monitoring platforms play a key role in testing and optimizing inbox placement by sending emails to a seed list spread across various internet service providers (ISPs) and analyzing whether or not the emails were sent to the inbox or routed to the junk or spam folder.
