Episode Synopsis

Poor email performance isn't just a content problem. An outdated contact list and bad sending strategy can tank your email results and put your sending domain at risk down the road. In this episode, Grace and Peter break down why ignoring your email deliverability is one of the most common (and costly) mistakes in marketing. They walk through a real-world case study showing why so many email campaigns result in low open rates.  You'll learn how to identify deliverability issues and improve results by validating and segmenting your email list. With this step-by-step approach, your email will get past spam filters, promotions tabs, and ultimately see better performance from start to finish.   This episode is a must-listen for anyone using email marketing as part of their business development strategy.
