I have verified my account and DMARC, etc. and it makes no difference. My marketing emails go to spam. Can someone please help me resolve this. I have never sent out a true spam email, just regular marketing ones. What can I do to resolve this?

Hi @jtrosenthal
To prevent your marketing emails from going to spam:
1-Authenticate Your Domain: Ensure SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are properly set up. This builds trust with email providers.
2-Clean Your Email List: Remove invalid or inactive email addresses. Use a verification tool if needed.
3-Improve Content:
- Avoid spammy words like “Free,” “Limited Time,” etc.
- Use a professional design and ensure a good text-to-image ratio.
- Include an unsubscribe link.
4-Check Sending Reputation:
- Monitor your sender reputation using tools like Google Postmaster Tools.
- Send emails gradually to new lists to build trust.
5-Personalize Emails:
- Use recipient names and tailored content.
- Avoid sending identical emails to large lists.
6-Test Emails Before Sending: Use tools like Mail Tester or GlockApps to analyze spam triggers.
7-Engagement Matters:
- Encourage recipients to add your email to their address book.
- Regularly remove unengaged subscribers.
8-Check IP Blacklist Status: Ensure your sending IP isn’t blacklisted. Use tools like MXToolBox.
These steps should help improve email deliverability and reduce spam issues.
I hope this can answer your question.
