What are the best practices after the IPs warm up in email marketing?

Published in october, 08 of 2015


After a successful IPs warm up made by Emailmanager, it's time to strengthen email marketing best practices. We´re telling this because right after the volume of your sends is reduced, it´s increased in order to reach the entire contact database. During this period, the deliverability can be vulnerable, as new email addresses will be on your lists and the historic is still low for the email providers to evaluate the interactions. So what should you do?
