COMMON MISTAKES EVEN SMART MARKETERS MAKE

USING WORDS IN YOUR SUBJECT LINE THAT TRIGGER SPAM FILTERS

Page 20: 10 Ways to Optimize Your Next Email Marketing Campaign

#unwebinar @unbounce @amy_e_ellis

USING WORDS IN YOUR SUBJECT LINE THAT TRIGGER SPAM FILTERS

HOW SPAM FILTERS WORK

• Spam filters assess every email for ‘spammyness.’• Emails that meet a certain ‘spammyness’

threshold get put in the spam folder.

#unwebinar @unbounce @amy_e_ellis

AVOID THESE COMMON MISTAKES

• Using phrases like ‘click here’ or ‘once in a lifetime opportunity.’• Going crazy with exclamation points!!!!• Using all caps.• Coloring fonts bring red or green.• Coding sloppy html, usually from converting a microsoft word file to html.• Sending an email that is one big image.• Using the word ‘test’ in the subject line.
