need to 
know…
Google makes NO 
apologies for being 
aggressive with their

engaging with your 
emails, more of your 
messages will wind 
up in the spam folder.
Here are a few things you can do 
to improve your results with

1 
Make sure all 
users are opt-in. 
Confirmed opt-in is 
even better.
2 
Publish and maintain and clear 
and simple unsubscribe process.
3 
Consider including quick action 
buttons in your email messages.
4 
Run frequent re-engagement 
campaigns and remove subscribers 
who haven’t opened an email or

period of time.

by spammers and 
tend to have an 
Unfavorable perception 
with the ISPs.
