Day 79 β€” SFMC Learning Maratho

πŸ”„ Boost Your Email Deliverability with Effective IP Address Warming! πŸ”„

Becoming a Marketing Cloud Engagement customer?

πŸš€ One crucial step for success is IP Address Warming.

Here’s why it’s essential and how to do it right:

🌐 Why Warm Your IP Address? Your new IP addresses have zero history. Inbox service providers (ISPs) are wary of unknown senders β€” 80% of unrecognized connections attempt to deliver spam or malware. So, your emails might get blocked or sent to spam folders.

Warming builds your IP’s reputation, ensuring your emails reach the inbox.

πŸ“ˆ Warming Strategy:

Start Slow: Send small volumes initially, then gradually increase.

Engage Actively: Focus on your most engaged subscribers first.

Monitor and Adjust: Keep an eye on your results and adapt as needed.

πŸ—“ Example Warming Schedule:

Day 1–3: 500 emails/day

Day 10: 12,000 emails/day

Day 30: 1,800,000 emails/day

Double the volumes for each additional IP address.

πŸ’‘ Pro Tips:

Split large campaigns over multiple days.

Use your most active subscribers in the initial phase.

Combine new IPs with legacy systems for a smoother transition.

Run non-time-sensitive campaigns like surveys for gradual warming.

πŸ”§ Maintain Your Reputation:

Keep sending regular volumes to your engaged subscribers.

If you pause for over a week, ramp up slowly again.

For pauses over three weeks, restart warming from day one volumes.

πŸ›‘ Best Practices:

Use explicit opt-in processes.

Avoid buying or renting email lists.

Continuously clean your list by removing unengaged subscribers.

πŸ“Š Stay Ahead:

Use CAPTCHA to prevent bot sign-ups.

Include hidden fields in forms to catch bots.

Regularly re-engage inactive subscribers.

Following these guidelines ensures a strong start with your new IP addresses and helps maintain optimal email deliverability. Ready to enhance your email strategy? Let’s get started! πŸ’ͺ✨
