(on all the things)
Leading Email Marketing at Demac Media, I’ve earned the role of the
Carrie Bradshaw of email. I’ve got a swear jar on my desk for every time
someone says “eblast” & plan to spend it all on Black Friday. Lover of
coffee, bikes and beer miles.

“I once had a nightmare that I had a blacklisted client. Truth was, it wasn’t a nightmare, it was a
living nightmare. One that brought a lot of opportunity for change.

expected
● Deliverability rate had dropped - significantly

● Cancel pending sends
● Contact your ESP
● ESP will connect with ISP
2. PAUSE
● All soft and hard bounces
● All subscribers from
blocked domain (even if
they did not bounce)
@isimma#LitmusLive

rules when warming IP

during your busy season

SEGMENTING BY ENGAGEMENT
GROUP A
Active, No Bounce
GROUP C
Bounced & Opened
GROUP D
Bounced & Unengaged

@isimma#LitmusLive
MAKING A CASE FOR SEGMENTATION
START SMALL
Build segments
that won’t change
process (ex. time
zone)
GO BIGGER
Find the obvious
data you’ve already
got (ex. gender)
BE SMARTER
Build out models to
determine who is
more likely to
purchase what (ex.
RFM)
@isimma#LitmusLive
SOME FINALTHOUGHTS.
Add the deliverability metric to
your ESPs dashboard.
If you do get blacklisted, use it as
an opportunity to change the
way things are done.
Set timing for delivery attempts.
