Olympic-Class Email What Senders Need to Go for the Gold
The Olympic motto “citius, altius, fortius” is a Latin phrase that means “faster, higher, stronger.”
Perhaps it was inspired by the SparkPost motto “spend less, deliver more, guaranteed.” In these slides, you’ll
learn more about the traits of world-class email senders.
Permission
There’s no bar more important to clear than
receiving permission from your recipient. Permission isn’t a one-time affair; trust is nurtured with opt-in, easy
unsubscribes, preference centers—and content and
offers that recipients actually want to receive.
Segmentation & Targeting
Precise segmentation and careful targeting of offers is
a must-have for achieving gold medal deliverability and
user engagement.
Reputation
Emails won’t finish the race without good sender reputation and well-
maintained IP address pools.
Cadence & Frequency
Don’t overwhelm the inbox. Pacing messages to match your recipients’ needs helps ensure positive signals and engagement. A predictable cadence also helps to build
trust with ISPs.
Security & Authentication
Employing email authentication standards
like DMARC, DKIM, and SPF are an important part of building credibility with
recipients and ISPs. And encrypting with TLS helps
protect your customers and their information.
Branding
Following consistent and appealing design helps to match your message with
customers’ emotional expectations. Building a
strong brand and customer experience is a
key aspect of email marketing.
Deliverability
Winning deliverability requires combining a strong
strategy with reliable technology and the support of a great team. That’s why
SparkPost reaches the inbox better than every
also-ran.
Engagement
Email delivery is just the beginning, but all of these factors work together to
build customer engagement with your
business.
