Why Email Warming Is Crucial for Your Reputation
Before moving on to practice, let's recall the challenges of a good sender reputation.
ISPs (Internet Service Providers) and webmail analyze numerous signals to determine whether an email should arrive in the inbox or be classified as spam, including:
- The number of spam complaints on your domain
- The rate of emails blocked or deleted without being opened
- Recipient engagement (openings, clicks, responses...)
Poor performance on these indicators will damage your reputation as a sender and will send your future emails straight to the spam folder.
On the other hand, a solid reputation guarantees optimal deliverability rates. This is why it is crucial to “warm up” your email addresses regularly!
