WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY DON’T LIKE SPAM?!

IVANA SIMOVIC@isimma

(on all the things)

Leading Email Marketing at Demac Media, I’ve earned the role of the

someone says “eblast” & plan to spend it all on Black Friday. Lover of

coffee, bikes and beer miles.

What do you mean they don’t like spam?!

@isimma#LitmusLive

“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

Deliverability had dropped to 60%

BEHAVING LIKE A SPAMMER

@isimma#LitmusLive

We get it, the holidays are exciting.

@isimma#LitmusLive

THE PROBLEM

● Highly promotional time of year

● Repeatedly sharing offers with every

single subscriber

● Hitting the panic button to meet targets

@isimma#LitmusLive

Literally me when I looked at their deliverability.

SEGMENTING BY ENGAGEMENT

GROUP A

Active, No Bounce

GROUP C

Bounced & Opened

GROUP D

Bounced & Unengaged

GROUP B

Bounced & Clicked

@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.
