iECHO recommends considering best practices for successful email delivery to ensure emails don't land in spam.
Here’s some points to consider:
Content Quality and Relevance
- Clear Subject Lines: Use clear and concise subject lines. Avoid using all caps, excessive punctuations and emojis.
- Personalization: Tailor the content to participants' interests or interactions with your previous communications.
- Balanced Text-to-Image Ratio: Avoid heavy use of images and maintain a good balance between text and images.
Other Aspects
- Plain Text Versions: Ensure your emails are sent in plain text formats. Some email clients (like google, outlook etc.) prefer plain text, and it’s good practice for accessibility.
Avoid Common Issues
- Attachments: Avoid sending attachments unless absolutely necessary. They can trigger spam filters.
- Excessive Links: Limit the number of links in your email. Too many links can make your email look suspicious.
- Spammy Words: Avoid using words and phrases commonly associated with spam like - "Urgent response needed", "Secret cure" or "Doctors hate this" etc. These can trigger spam filters and harm email deliverability.
