Does your email list need a little TLC?
Marketers love to debate send time, subject lines, personalized emails, and email content when it comes to CRM. But if you don’t have a robust email list full of subscribers excited to hear from you, you’ll never see critical metrics increase. Increase the ROI of your marketing and transactional emails with a clean list of email addresses.
Never worry about email deliverability
With Mailgun’s automation, emails only go where they’re not supposed to go. For instance, our suppression list blocks emails from going to someone who has unsubscribed from your email list, provided an invalid email, or anyone who has flagged one of your emails to the spam folder. You’ll also be alerted to bounce rate for hard bounces and soft bounces, so you can remove or pause sending to those email addresses.
This isn’t just about staying compliant with anti-spam laws – you want to do right by your email subscribers. They’ve invited you to their personal inbox and it’s up to you to deliver personalized, relevant content that they care about.
You can also use Mailgun’s logs, stored for up to 30 days, to gather insights into exactly what happened with each email address on your contact list.
Boost tour ROI with email list management
An email list, especially one that’s managed well, can be a highly valuable asset. Email continues to be one of the preferred communications channels, alongside a brand’s website and its social media channels. And it's still the channel that will give you the highest ROI for your digital marketing efforts. (Need to calculate your Email ROI? Use Mailgun's Email Marketing ROI Calculator.)
Nearly 20% of Americans get more than 50 emails a day, which means the competition in the inbox is fierce. But there’s good news: people want to hear from brands, especially when it comes to discounts and other promotions. In fact, 78.5% of people want to hear from their favorite ecommerce brands at least once a week, while more than half would like even more frequent interactions.
To achieve that high ROI with your email campaigns, it’s critical to stay on top of list management. 51.7% will unsubscribe from or mark as spam unsolicited emails, so brands need to be cautious of their email sending practices to maintain a healthy list of subscribers. Among the top reasons for unsubscribing are unrecognizable sender names and irrelevant content.
Email list management is what makes the difference between a blah email list and a subscriber list full of untapped potential.
Only send to real humans with email address validation
Overall, Mailgun’s email validations API provides comprehensive email verification and a three-step validation check for each email address on your list. Contact management has never been easier...and it starts before subscribers opt-in on a pop-up, sign up on a landing page signup form, or double opt-in via email.
Easily identify valid emails, role-based addresses, typos, and more for better list hygiene. Our validation tool goes beyond simple grammar rules – we check directly with the mailbox for verification for accurate results you can rely on.
MX records verification
Mail server verification to ensure every email address is valid
Role-based email address verification, like customer support inboxes
Disposable email address verification, so every email address is deliverable
RFC grammar rule check that meets criteria for every email service provider
Suggestions on suspected typos for invalid email addresses
All of these functionalities occur in real-time thanks to Mailgun’s real-time validation API.
With email verification, you won’t waste time and money on email addresses that don’t exist. Keep your sender reputation strong without worrying over the technical details.
