You can help your deliverability rate with a few tips from us. Based on some testing we can tell you that you can improve your email deliverability with these advices.
A/B testing is crucial to get information from your recipients and make sure that you get the most out of your email campaign. This is done in order to test out different permutations of changes made in the emails to see which template resonates more with your recipients.
To do this you need to have information from metrics. Hence the importance of your open rate and your click trough rate. Since in the above we mentioned that including a tracking pixel in the emails might decrease their deliverability you might be wondering how to get information from your open rate. Well there are two solutions ready for you.
You can disregard the advice given above, at least for a little while. Track the open rate based on different subject lines implemented and makes sure you know which ones work and which ones doesn’t. Our recommendation is simple.
Chose about 400 to 500 recipients and create about 8 to 10 email campaigns, each with a different subject line. Send emails from these campaigns to your recipients and see which subject lines work the best. After you have what appears to be a good open rate, test out those subject lines with another 200 recipients to see the results.
The point of this is to know what works in order to implement it in the future. If you know which subject lines deliver the best results then you can confidently use them in future email campaigns without adding the tracking pixel and expect good results. This way you get an approximation of the open rate of the campaign and you won’t be reducing the deliverability of the emails.
Get a service that does all this for you. While there are a lot of good services in the market right now, we can only name a few, and even then, the decision is entirely on your hands. Remember that tracking your metrics is important for your email campaign, but not at the expense of your deliverability. Ultimately what matters to your business is the amount of closed deals.
