I recently read an article about an Aberdeen Group study on e-mail deliverability. The research found that those who pay attention to customer behavior and segmentation have an e-mail delivery rate well-above the average. When e-mail marketers pay close attention they achieve an average delivery rate of 90.2%.
Recently, we have had several different posts about e-mail best practices. I will briefly go over the main points of each as a refresher.
