The Problem
TechFlow, a leading software development firm, was struggling with low open rates due to poor deliverability. Their marketing emails were landing in spam folders, and their domain reputation was suffering. They needed a way to test their campaigns before sending them to their main list.
The Solution
They started using MailBolt™'s temp email service to test their campaigns before sending. By generating disposable email addresses, they could simulate real-world delivery conditions without risking their domain reputation.
Implementation Steps
- Generate Temp Emails: TechFlow's QA team generated a batch of temp emails for each campaign.
- Send Test Emails: They sent their marketing emails to these temp addresses.
- Analyze Results: They checked if the emails landed in the inbox, spam, or promotions tab.
- Optimize: Based on the results, they tweaked their subject lines, content, and sending infrastructure.
The Results
Open rates jumped from 15% to 21% in just one month. By catching deliverability issues early, TechFlow was able to ensure that their emails reached their audience. Additionally, their click-through rates improved by 12%, leading to a significant increase in qualified leads.
Conclusion
Testing is a critical part of any email marketing strategy. Using temp emails for QA allows you to identify and fix problems before they impact your live campaigns. If you're struggling with deliverability, consider incorporating this simple yet effective tactic into your workflow.
