The method of building trust and credibility and increasing deliverability for a new email account is known as email warm-up. Email warm-up includes sending a number of emails and gradually increasing the number each day from the new email account.
Did you know that roughly 306.4 billion emails were sent and received per day in 2020, and this figure is expected to increase to over 376.4 billion daily emails by 2025?
And only 55% of the emails received contain legitimate content. According to a public survey of Spam Laws, 14.5 billion spam emails (45% of all emails) are received globally per day. And if you’re a business owner, you must know that spam costs businesses a whopping $20.5 billion every year. (Source: The Radicati Group, Inc.)
So, it goes without saying that it is very important to stay out of the spam folder for people using cold email outreach. But sadly, it’s becoming harder day by day.
Warming-up your email account properly can be a crucial move to stop getting your emails flagged as spam. This means ensuring your emails should look as legitimate and as genuine as possible before you use any automated email tool. If Google assumes that you're a real human, it will be less prone to flag your emails as spam.
Email Warm-up is a process that comprises of progressively rising the number of emails sent and establishing a reputation for a new email account. As a regular person who creates an email address will do, emails are sent, answered, marked as important, and moved from spam to inbox.
Warming-up starts by sending a number of emails from the new account and gradually increasing the numbers. Consequently, this method comes with an improvement in the deliverability of the email account. The Internet Service Providers (ISP) will mark you as a safe sender. Furthermore, it will not spam your outgoing emails.
These can be done manually, but it takes a lot of time. So, marketers and salesmen use automated email tools like OutReachBin. The warm-up tool will interact with other email accounts to reflect human behavior, with the objective of improving its deliverability.
Email warm-up is important and crucial for new and low activity accounts. This is because emails sent from unwarmed inboxes will land in spam, particularly in the case of cold emails.
As said, warmed inboxes have better distribution capability and would give better results in case of cold emailing.
Follow the following tips to warm-up your email account before sending cold emails.
The first thing you need to do for a new email address is to authenticate the account. While authentication protects your outgoing emails from going to the spam folder, it sends your emails directly to your prospect's inbox as well.
There are four ways of configuring email authentication. Such as:
SPF is an email verification method that helps you to prevent spam by checking the sender's IP address. Additionally, it helps to secure your domain(s) from spoofing. It also ensures that your emails have been sent properly. Email service providers who obtain mail from you use SPF to confirm whether the emails that tend to come from your domain actually came from your domain or not.
DKIM is an authentication method that applies a unique signature to your domain that stops email spoofing and delivers your email right in the inbox.
DMARC records to use the SPF and DKIM records to ensure the ESP of the receiver that no manipulative activities are connected with the email.
Add a custom domain to your emails, making your links and document more authentic and credible by providing it with your domain. This ensures that the sender and his ESP have links and documentation coming from an authentic source.
