Compliance 101 – Deliverability best practices
Here at SimplyCast, deliverability is a main concern.
We have mentioned it before on this blog but we want to remind everyone again. Deliverability is way too important to overlook and our Compliance and Deliverability team wants to help you get as many emails to the inbox as you can.
Below are a few things that we do to help increase the deliverability of each mailing sent through SimplyCast:
- SimplyCast’s Deliverability Team communicates with ISPs to build strong relationships, and resolve issues quickly and efficiently when they arise.
- We abide by a strict Anti-Spam Policy.
- Our team continuously monitors our IPs reputations, contacting clients who fail to comply with our Terms and Conditions.
- SimplyCast’s Marketing Team actively updates this blog and adds FAQ’s to help clients improve sending practices and increasing deliverability rates. For example: Key words which could be interpreted as spam, tips to creating good subject lines and how to maintain good list hygiene.
- SimplyCast’s Deliverability Team also implements a three strike policy. If a client receives “three strikes” we unfortunately have to terminate them, protecting deliverability rates for all our clients.
Here are some things you can do to help:
1. To ensure good deliverability you must have double-opt in email lists.
2. Have your clients re-opt-in to your lists at least twice a year to remove unused addresses, or addresses that may have turned into spam traps.
3. Have good “list hygiene” – Low number of complaints, removing soft bounces.
4. Include an easy-to-find unsubscribe link, so you do not receive unwanted complaints.
5. Create good subject lines, do not use profanity or have content that doesn’t match the subject line.
6. Inform your recipients how often you will be sending and be consistent.
7. When creating HTML campaigns include both text and HTML. Campaigns with large amounts of HTML are likely to be observed as spam, thus not being delivered to the recipient’s inbox.
8. Ensure your “from address” is consistent and does not misrepresent you.
For more tips on deliverability please email our team at deliverability@simplycast.com.

Spread Valentine’s Day love with email marketing
Are you ready for the one of biggest retail days of the year? Yes, Valentine’s Day is getting closer so get ready for a lovefest when it comes to promotional messages showing up in your inbox.
Do you plan on spreading the love with email marketing this Valentine’s Day?
Here are 10 tips you can use to influence your recipients or in this case, your Valentines.
1. Use or create a Valentine’s Day template. By using a nice balance of Valentine-specific copy and imagery it will get readers in the mood and thinking about the day.
2. Create a special email message for people who bought from you last year around Valentine’s Day and this time make it an even better offer. Great way to build and keep customer loyalty.
3. Segment your list by gender. There is no better day than Valentine’s Day to do this. Send female oriented offers to the guys and male oriented offers to the ladies. Keep in mind that this sort of segmentation may not be appropriate for all audiences or all products.
4. Use customer testimonials and reviews in your email marketing campaign. Most people will buy if they know another person has had a positive buying experience with your product or service. Think of it like a movie. Most people put more stock in a friend’s review than what an advertisement says. At the same time you are showing some love to the person who took the time to leave the glowing review.
5. Coupon Codes are the perfect way to generate traffic to your website or service and convince potential buyers to make a purchase. Make the coupons very easy to use and make sure you mention all terms and conditions clearly.
6. If your business has a blog, Facebook page or Twitter account, mention the Valentine’s Day promotion there as well. The more love you spread, the more that will come back to you (hopefully). Many potential leads may just need that extra incentive to purchase your service and let’s face it, there are a lot of eyeballs using Facebook and Twitter these days.
7. Make sure it is super easy for people to take advantage of your offer. Nothing will make a potential customer discard your message faster than if they have to work hard to act on it. Do as much of the work for them by making contact information prominent, coupon codes that are easy to read and give clear directions on what they have to do.
8. Thank loyal customers by sending them a Happy Valentine’s Day email postcard to show customer. This supports customer retention and will keep them from even thinking about looking elsewhere. This is also a great time to ask customers to make sure their account information is up to date.
9. Mention shipping cutoff dates in your emails. It can be a great call to action strategy to remind people they don’t have much time to ship gifts to loved ones if they want to get it by February 14th.
10. Have fun and be creative! The more enjoyment you and your coworkers have when creating your email marketing campaigns, the more it will resonate with the reader. There will be thousands of emails flying around the Internet between now and Valentine’s Day and you want to get noticed. Unleash Cupid and all his arrows of love and appreciation.
