Tips for improving email deliverability

These tips for increasing delivery of permission-based Emails are from the UK DMA Deliverability Council. This is a long 15 page document, so I have developed some shorter guidelines






The existence of the Deliverability council shows the extent of the problems of deliverability. I didn't spot these until Jan 2008.

My Email deliverability tips

1. Before you send email (Content):

  1. Limit use of spam keyphrases
  2. Test e-mail against a spam checker
  3. Test delivery / renderability in ISPs/Firewalls with seed accounts

2. After you send Email (Reputation):

  1. Remove bounces after 3 times (automatic)
  2. Follow-up on bounces – how?
  3. Track Opens and Clicks across ISPs/Corporates
  4. Check reputation
