I've already written a few pieces on personalization in cold email. I've given numerous reasons why personalization is a must. Yet, here's another one: deliverability of your cold email campaigns. This is something you can't just ignore or omit, because if you do – your emails will simply stop being sent. Here's more about the link between personalization and deliverability. Check how it works and how to personalize your cold email campaigns to make sure your emails get sent and delivered.
Remember how I wrote about why it's a good idea to set up a separate email for outbound? Here's a kind of a follow-up to that topic. Before you start using a newly set up mailbox for serious outbound campaigns, it's crucial to warm it up a bit. At Woodpecker, we often see that totally new email addresses used for outbound without any warm-up get blocked soon after an outbound campaign is fired off. Here's more about why that happens and how to avoid it. Check out the step by step plan on how to warm up your email address before starting a cold email campaign.
You can have control over your cold email deliverability. In outbound outreach, it's crucial how many of the emails you sent actually get to your prospects' inboxes. There are at least 14 points on a deliverability checklist that you can, and should, go through before you start off your email campaign. I've listed them below in three categories. Some of them you may already know of, but some may be new for you. Check the list and see if you're doing everything you can to ensure that your cold emails actually get to their destination.
When we were getting about sending our own cold email campaigns, the first thing we did was setting up a new mailbox for each of our sales persons. Those new email accounts have been created on a separate domain and dedicated exclusively to outbound email campaigns. Why did we do that? And how can you do that quickly and conveniently for your own outreach?
Do you think all your emails get delivered to your addressee's main inbox? Are you sure they really do? Here's about email deliverability and how much we should care about it sending cold emails. Can we raise it? If so, how to do that? This post is about people, bots, human-like bots, bot-like people and about how all of them decide whether our emails get delivered or not.
