After you have decided on a time frame to analyze this information, make some small
changes to your distribution schedule and then analyze the numbers to see what
type of significant changes that occurred from the changes that you had made. This
type of testing is very important so that your business is not missing out on any
opportunities. Before you do this you will need to figure out if you want to send one or
two emails out per day. Once you have made this decision then you can start to
perform these tests. You could also as part of your test include increasing from one to
two emails per week or the other way around.

2.3.3 BUILDING YOUR EMAIL REPUTATION
“Understanding developments in the enterprise/corporate
environment can be
enormously helpful in pursuit of best-inclass email delivery rates,” says
Al DiGuido
,
president and CEO of Epsilon Interactive, a
provider of strategic email
communications and marketing automation solutions. The latest trend in corporate
filtering is reputation-based technologies that authenticate the sender using a variety
of techniques that whitelist the IP addresses sending the mail.

This suggests a set of best practices, in addition to
honored standards such as
getting permission, to help assure deliverability. Some of these include the following:
■
Test your campaigns to ensure they’ll pass traditional antispam techniques such as
content filtering.
■
Send a consistent volume of mail from stable IP addresses. Sudden increases in
message volume from a single address, particularly if it’s
new or unfamiliar, can
trigger a block.
■
Contact the companies at the domains you email most often and ask that they
whitelist your IP address. It could open doors elsewhere. According to DiGuido,
“being on multiple corporate whitelists is sometimes
used as a factor in
enterprise/corporate solution reputation algorithms.”
■
Test your campaigns with content filters and monitor emerging corporate solutions
to better understand how they determine reputation scores.
■
Authenticate your email and implement sender verification technologies to enhance
your reputation and help assure deliverability.
As genius as email marketing sounds, like search engine optimization (SEO), it takes
time and perseverance to become successful.
