Getting Started With Outbound Outreach: Are You on the Right Track?
Getting a good grasp of email deliverability from the very beginning is essential not only for the future success of your campaigns but also for your domain safety. I’ve conducted some research to find out what cold email senders should pay attention to when they want to increase their cold email deliverability rate. Let’s see what I’ve found out.
A Step-by-Step Guide on How to Improve Your Domain Reputation
Have a closer look at your campaign stats. If you notice that the open rate is taking a nosedive and the number of bounces goes sky high, it most likely means that your deliverability rate is at a rock bottom and your messages either end up in the SPAM folder or are not delivered to the recipients at all.
The Better You Know How Email Works, the Higher Your Open Rate
There's a reason why we have 20+ email deliverability articles published on this blog. In order to be a pro at cold emailing and get outstanding results, you need to know how email works. Knowing how email works, however, doesn't mean writing the best email template out there. It goes well beyond email copy. It means knowing how email is sent and using this knowledge to schedule campaigns.
What Do I Need to Know About Email Blacklists?
You set up a cold email campaign and everything seems to run smoothly until you have a look at the statistics and notice a very high bounce rate. This may be a sign that you got blacklisted. First of all - don’t panic. Provided you landed on a blacklist unintentionally, it’s not such a big deal to get yourself off it. What costs much more effort, though, is regaining good sending reputation afterward. But first let me explain to you how blacklists work, why you landed on one and what you can do to get your IP removed from it.
Cold Email Deliverability: There Is Still A Lot to Learn – Webinar Recap

In today’s blog post, we answer the 8 top deliverability questions that were raised during the webinar.
What is the Risk of Embedding an Image/Video into B2B Email?
I'm sure you've read somewhere on the web that putting personalized visuals into cold email copy is the next big thing in email outreach. There are a lot of case studies that vouch for their effectiveness in increasing reply rates. Even here at Woodpecker blog, we have a guest post about including GIF into B2B emails. But is it worth the effort? What could go wrong? How to do that? Let's see.
4 Things You Need To Know When Choosing An Email Provider
There are a couple of things you need to pay attention to before you set up a separate email account for outbound. But first, what are the services that offer email accounts? The most popular email host among our users is Gmail. Then, we tend to spot accounts at Outlook, Zoho and GoDaddy. But you can also set up an account at Yahoo! Mail, AOL Mail, ProtonMail, Rackspace, and the like.
How to Warm Up My Domain Before Email Outreach
It's not news for you that we need to warm up an email address. It's actually one of the first things you need to do before you get on email outreach. But an email address isn't the only thing that needs a bit of prep. We need to warm up a fresh domain too. Warming up a domain resembles warming up an email address. Yet, a newly registered domain warm-up takes way longer than that of any mailbox. Don't worry though. The steps you take to prepare a domain for outreach are pretty similar to the ones you go through with a new email address.
