Litmus is the all-in-one email marketing platform that provides the tools and solutions your team needs to create effective email campaigns that convert.

Want your emails to actually make it into the inbox? From where you get your contact lists, to how you build your emails, to the content you’re sharing, there are dozens of obstacles that can stand between you and getting your emails delivered to the right subscribers at the right time.

In this webinar, we joined forces with Constant Contact to take a look at how to overcome these challenges and glide into inboxes with ease! Together, Jaina Mistry, Director of Content and Email Marketing at Litmus, and Stephanie French, Senior Producer, Webinars at Constant Contact, discuss the following key points related to email deliverability and more:

- The top factors that affect your email deliverability
- Best practices to help you get to (and stay!) in the inbox
- How to identify if your emails aren’t being delivered + what actions to take

Decoding Deliverability: Essential Strategies for Reaching the Inbox

Every aspect of your company’s email strategy must be carefully crafted for each 
subscriber to create hyper-relevant, truly personalized experiences that empower you to 
maintain a competitive edge in crowded inboxes. Learn how B2B brands, like the team 
here at Litmus, boost engagement and connection with their subscribers with smarter email personalization.

Crafting Connections: Achieving Goals with B2B Email Personalization

Sometimes, the world of testing and experimentation can feel a bit daunting. You have dozens of opportunities to optimize your fundraising efforts, so how do you even know where to begin? For now, let’s skip the whole “choose your own adventure” path because you can easily get lost in that jungle. In order to lower friction in your own decision-making process, let’s focus on a place where you can have the highest impact, and choose a donation page as your starting point. You can always return later and work backward from here to optimize multiple other areas like your landing page, website CTA, Facebook ad, or email copy. Keep in mind that the goal of an experiment is not to get a lift, but rather, to get a learning.

Three Questions to Help You Generate Email Test Ideas

Email is one of the most tried-and-true ways engage your customers. But how do you know if your emails are actually reaching their inbox? Understanding email deliverability can give you the most return on your email campaign investments, and can give you confidence that your messages are reaching your customers. In this webinar, we will give actionable tips on how to:
-Set up your email campaigns for maximum deliverability
-Validate and test emails before you send
-Monitor email metrics once you’ve sent
-Respond if you sense an email deliverability issue

Improve Your Email Deliverability and Optimize Sends

Measuring deliverability is very hard and also with current spam filters it matters a lot.
Current techniques are:
- seed testing
- measuring open rates per domain
- panel measurement
- ISP reputation tools
None of them really works but can give some insights. I want to explain why it's important, what you can measure and what you need to measure with respect to business goals

Measuring Email Deliverability

Email is great but companies need to move to omni-channel and take advantage of other channels like push notifications alongside email.
* What is push
* How to get started
* Subscriber best practices
* Messaging best practices
* How companies are seeing success with push alongside email today

More Than Email! How to get started with push notifications

1. Email marketers are getting more and more requests  (segmentation, personalization, languages, etc.) (Consumer may get 1 email a week, but there are 15 emails being sent out); this means more testing, approvals, segmentation/list building, etc. 
2. When tech is your friend and when it’s not (don’t implement just to implement), especially with a small team (how can the tech you implement help you to scale the size of your team)
3. Email marketers want to build Lead Nurtures/lifecycle to qualify leads into the pipeline, their managers want them to dig into audiences to impact revenue, etc.

CRM has always been important, but since the pandemic, the need for a great customer experience heightened. We saw an E-Commerce boom in 2020, with many brands that didn’t yet have an online presence, moving online. Consumers' needs and expectations since 2020 have grown, and those brands that are mastering customer experience are definitely feeling the benefit. The CRM landscape has also changed, no longer are we talking marketing, it’s bigger than that. CRM and customer experience teams now sit at board level, we now can inform product development, customer service and much more. We know the customer best and we’re now leading and informing teams around us. I mean, that’s so exciting.

AMP for email is still a bit in its infancy, but that shouldn’t stop content creators from using it. We’ll provide a simple email to help followers get authenticated with Google to start sending AMP email messages. We’ll show live examples we’ve used for sending AMP emails and include how others are using AMP. We’ll then walk through adding an AMP snippet to an email message directly using the AMP playground and existing HTML code. Lastly, we’ll share our most recent AMP email creation - creating a monster costume and heading to the party. This is meant to serve as a fun example, but could be used for things like building a specific quote based on a user's input, building a shopping cart based on clothing selections, etc.
