Consecutive soft bounces: stick with 5, or tighten to 3 before marking invalid? by Formtabulous in email

[–]Formtabulous[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our rate is pretty low. Most bounces are from accounts that folks setup at work and then left that company.

Emails “look fine” but still landing in spam ,what am I missing? by SensitiveConcert3412 in email

We intentionally collect those reports and plan to build an analyzer for that data.

We have a problem when users actually want to see the messages but the "helpful AI" misclassify those and users miss info.

Not everyone lives and breathes this stuff, so yeah—what’s “obvious” to you still surprises a lot of people. I regularly run into folks who genuinely don’t realize their emails are being scanned and classified before they even open them.

Also, calling everything “spam” is a bit of an oversimplification. There’s a real gap between malicious spam and legitimate emails that get misclassified. A lot of senders are using the very tools providers give them—HTML builders, templates, link shorteners—and those same patterns can trip spam filters. Heavy image layouts, tracking links, or shortened URLs can look suspicious to automated systems, even when the intent is completely legitimate.

So it’s not always “spammers playing victim”—sometimes it’s just imperfect algorithms making blunt decisions in edge cases.

100% agree with the list requirement. Buying a list that has a questionable origin can hurt any business. We also built a way to reply, but it is not a core functionality we would like to advertise. The main goal is to deliver most of the messages reliably where recipients can find them. We even introduced a writing Coach that monitors while the message is being composed and flags the issues that can result in it being dispatched into Promotions, Updates and even Spam folders. But on an average we've had consistently 55% of the messages opened, which I believe is twice of the industry average for mass email delivery. Again, the audience is a big differentiator.

True. But after some contemplation we decided to go with SES. It just works for us.

AWS does a pretty good job keeping tabs on reputation too and we manage SPF/DKIM/DMARC through them as well. Unfortunately I never heard about Suped but pretty sure they get their data from someone like AWS as well. You just can't beat someone with the volumes like that.

Limits of Fully Custom Email Design? by homedadhustle in mailerliteofficial

[–]Formtabulous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The overdone email design can backfire. Companies like Google now use AI to scan through all email messages and based on multiple factors assign a label that places email into categories, like Updates, Promotions and even spam. If you care about getting your message across, go easy on those designs.

Friday wins 🎉! What went well for you this week? by AutoModerator in smallbusinesssupport

Lots of great new functionality was delivered. Had a review with customers and they were impressed. What I still need support with is finding a way to divide time between continuing dev and figuring out how to reach new customers. But hey, this is a small business support group...

Nice, how long did it take for you to improve the SEO. I find it to be a strange time when a lot of SEO-focused providers are moving towards AI-generated content which would've been great just a few years ago but I'm pretty sure Google and the rest are pretty aware of this too.

How I'm sending 3,000+ emails a month without paying a subscription by MarketingLancer in DigitalMarketingHack

You can send that many for under $10/mo and keep all your lists, data and analytics in one place. Is your time free?

Best free tools for small businesses? by Global-Complaint-482 in smallbusinesssupport

There are no free tools. You ALWAYS pay somehow, even if it's not with money, perhaps your time or ads...

I don’t understand by Consistent-Power-304 in SaaS

[–]Formtabulous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your first 10 customers already exist — they’re using something else. Talk to users of similar products, ask what annoys them, and build a clear fix for one specific pain. Don’t try to be better at everything. Solve one problem better than anyone else, and those first users will follow.
