10 Big CX Ideas for 2025

What XMail’s Launch Could Mean for Email Marketers

How would an inbox from X affect the email ecosystem? What would it likely look like? And what lessons should X learn from Facebook’s failed inbox?

 
Understand the potential impact
Oracle Digital Experience Agency’s Sarah Gallardo walks you through each sign.

6 Signs You Need an Email Accessibility Audit

Failing to create accessible brand experiences is becoming legally and socially much riskier.

 
Seeing any of these signs?
“There’s no question that the future of email marketing will entail more personalization using machine learning and generative AI, more integration between channels and more of a focus on maximizing customer lifetime value.”
CMSWIRE

Email Marketing’s Future and Beyond

CMSWire Contributor of the Year Chad S. White discusses navigating AI‑driven personalization, improving customer journeys, and the metrics brands should focus on.

 
Tighten up your email strategy

Say What?

“Even post‑MPP, it’s crucial to look closely at unique open rates by receiver domain day to day, as well as across campaigns and ISPs. That’s because an overall open rate of 15%, for example, can easily conceal a 2% open rate at Outlook.com, which would indicate that your mail is in the junk folder. However, because of MPP, you’ll also want to watch clicks. Click rates may be much lower than open rates, but seeing big deltas between inbox providers can reveal spam folder placement.”
