Learn how to avoid sending emails to the spam folder for your next EDM Campaign!
One of the biggest obstacles with an EDM campaign being successful is the possibility that it will be marked as spam. It may come as a surprise that 69% of recipients mark an email as spam before they even open it and on top of that, your email still has to pass the email providers filter to even get to their inbox in the first place. The filter takes many things into consideration, however simple things that the filter will look for is the wording in the subject line and the content.
Spam filters have learnt what characteristics of an email are “Spammy” by looking at actual spam emails, which more often than not includes a lot of Sales emails which has led to a lot of ‘Sales’ terms to be considered as spam.
To help avoid the spam triggers, Vision 6, have compiled a list of 100 common spam trigger words that might risk setting off filters when used too often:
