The holidays can be
rough on your list
management, so…

Make the top item on the post-holiday email agenda boosting your list health. This is extra critical this year for two reasons. First, a growing number of subscribers are passing 2 years since enabling Mail Privacy Protection. The lower engagement visibility caused by MPP was evident during the holiday season when audience expansion efforts significantly depressed engagement rates and revenue per email. Brands clearly were less sure of which subscribers to include. And second, Google and Yahoo’s new deliverability requirements go into effect next month. You’ll want to make sure you have your spam complaint rates back below 0.10%, if they rose above that during the holidays.

Email Opens Are Not Dead: What’s Changed & What’s Not

Apple’s MPP hasn’t killed email opens, but it has changed how marketers can and can’t use them.

Say What?

“If your audience is likely to follow award shows and other live events, leave room to capitalize on viral moments or red-carpet looks in your campaigns. Something as simple as a subject line referencing a new meme from the night can draw attention when delivered promptly.”
