How to avoid the spam/promo folder and reach people’s inboxes with our emails

In this week’s podcast, email marketing expert Adrian Savage joins Gabriella Ferenczi to discuss all things email marketing.

Adrian explains why and how open rates matter, why authentication of your email marketing tools is crucial, and how you can nurture your reputation as an email marketer to increase the likelihood of your emails landing in people’s inboxes rather than the dreaded spam or even promotion folder.

He shares why ‘unsubscribes’ can actually be a good thing, why it’s important to only send emails to people who’ve opened your emails recently, and why you don’t want your emails to look too pretty.

As he puts it:

Unsubscribes are actually doing you a favour.

We also talk about how much is too much or too little in terms of content, how often we should send emails to our subscribers.

He shares the lessons he learnt from his experiment of sending emails every single day in February this year.

Adrian also mentions why social links in your email marketing are a big no-no.
