Hi there! ๐Ÿ‘‹

Email WarmUp๐Ÿ”ฅ is the best way to improve your domain reputation & email deliverability ๐Ÿ“ง.

It is highly recommended to enable Email WarmUp as it helps your emails land in inbox, otherwise what's the point of even sending cold emails?

Before we learn more about Email WarmUp, let's understand the concept,

Why do emails go to Spam?

There are a couple of reasons why cold emails go to spam. ๐Ÿ‘‡

  • Emails you send are not getting opened (<10% open rate).

  • Emails you send are not getting replies (<2% reply rate).

  • Emails have been going to spam for a while.

  • Email Subject Line/Body has Spam Keywords.

  • Link that you use in the email body have been marked as unsafe by ESPs.

Email WarmUp helps you by fixing the above issues.

How Email WarmUp Works?

When an email sender is connected to SalesBlink, users can opt-in to enable Email WarmUp.๐Ÿ”ฅ

SalesBlink have over 30,000+ email addresses connected opted-in for Email WarmUp and here's what opting in does:

  • Email addresses send emails ๐Ÿ“ง to each other.

  • Recipients open emails of each other.

  • Recipients click on links in the email body.

  • Email addresses reply to each other's email.

  • Email addresses move emails of each other from Spam to Inbox.

All of the above happen automatically till the email sender is connected with SalesBlink.

These WarmUp activities help improving the reputation of everyone's email address in the pool. Hence helping emails land in inbox. ๐Ÿ“ง

For how many days should I WarmUp my Email Address?

You should WarmUp your email address for at least 7 to 14 days before you start sending cold emails.

๐Ÿšจ You should keep your Email WarmUp enabled till the time you are using the email address to send emails. This ensures continued email deliverability.
