Email marketing remains an essential engine for growing and nurturing customer relationships. At neuMails, we understand that seeing your messages land in the right inboxes and sparking meaningful engagement is vital for your bottom line.
If your campaigns aren’t delivering the engagement you expect, these 10 quick fixes will help you turn things around fast.
1. Authenticate Your Email Domain
Don’t let your emails get flagged as suspicious or spam. Set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC authentication for your neuMails domain. These protocols establish your identity and build trust with ISPs, drastically improving inbox placement rates. Authentication shields your senders against spoofing and phishing, so your subscribers get genuine content from you.
2. Use a Reputable ESP and a Dedicated IP
Sending with neuMails gives you the power of a trusted email service provider. For volume campaigns, request a dedicated IP address. This isolates your sending behavior and reputation from others, ensuring your engagement metrics are yours alone.
3. Monitor Your Sender Reputation
Proactively check your sender score and scan for blocklists. neuMails makes it easy to track your domain reputation across the ecosystem, helping you respond quickly to issues that could sink engagement rates. If you spot problems, act fast: clean your list, fix authentication, and adjust your sending practices.
4. Implement Double Opt-In
Quality beats quantity every time. Use neuMails’ double opt-in flows: new subscribers confirm their interest, resulting in a cleaner, more engaged list. You’ll reduce spam complaints, increase deliverability, and keep only enthusiastic readers in your audience.
5. Clean Your Email List Regularly
Don’t let your engagement tank sink due to dead addresses or disengaged users. Use built-in email validation tools to routinely remove hard bounces and dormant contacts. A healthy list boosts deliverability and open rates, no more wasting resources on uninterested parties.
6. Segment and Personalize Every Send
Generic emails are engagement killers. neuMails lets you segment your list by behavior, purchase history, or demographics, then personalize the content for each segment. Personalized emails are proven to lift open and click rates, fostering deeper subscriber loyalty.
7. Respect Unsubscribe Requests Instantly
Processing opt-outs immediately is both spam law compliance and good business. neuMails automates this for you, keeping users happy and minimizing spam complaints that could harm your reputation with mailbox providers.
8. Never Use Purchased or Scraped Lists
Organic list growth wins. Purchased lists are riddled with risky or unengaged recipients, often resulting in poor engagement and high spam rates. Rely on neuMails’ elegant opt-in forms, pop-ups, and landing pages to attract new subscribers who want to hear from you.
9. Warm Up New Domains and IPs Gradually
If you’re launching a fresh sending domain or IP with neuMails, ramp up your send volume slowly. Start with the most engaged segment of your audience and increase volume steadily. This helps ISPs recognize your traffic and trust your sender identity, resulting in better inbox placement.
10. Avoid Spam Trigger Words and Formats
Craft subject lines and content carefully: skip shouty language (‘FREE!!!’), excessive punctuation, and misleading claims. Focus on short, relevant, and genuine wording that appeals to your segments. A/B test subject lines using neuMails tools to find what resonates with your audience.
