[00:10] In this episode, Igor shares three invaluable tips to ensure your marketing messages reach the right inbox and captivate your audience.
[01:49] Igor’s No.1 Technique To Avoid Spam Folder:
- I use a technique where I include a substantial disclaimer written in a legal or formal language in my emails.
- Although this technique hasn’t noticeably increased my sales, it has improved my deliverability, which was already good before trying it.
- The idea is to make the email seem more formal and less like a sales pitch. The disclaimer can be quite lengthy, perhaps even longer than the marketing content itself.
[03:10] Trick Gmail To Skip The Spam Folder:
- The goal is to trick Gmail into thinking that the email is a primarily formal communication between colleagues, which might increase the chances of the email landing in the inbox rather than the promotions tab or spam folder.
- People are generally accustomed to seeing disclaimers, so it’s unlikely to raise suspicion or confusion.
- However, it’s worth noting that this technique is primarily used to escape the promotions tab rather than avoid spam.
[04:13] Why Are Your Emails Landing In The Spam Folder?
- If your emails are landing in spam, it could be due to other reasons, such as content that Gmail dislikes, using a blacklisted domain, or having a brand new domain without a reputation.
- One common mistake is failing to authenticate the mailing domain with Google Postmaster Tools.
- This free service helps verify the legitimacy of your domain and email-sending practices. Just like a restaurant needs approval from the FDA to operate, authenticating your domain demonstrates that your emails are from a reputable source, increasing the chances of reaching the inbox.
