Stop Growing Your Email List Until You've Done This
The most counterintuitive email advice you'll hear this year: your list is probably too big.
Unengaged contacts drag your sender reputation down with every send. They suppress inbox placement for your whole list, including the people who actively want your emails.
The move that improved one client's open rate from 31% to 60.5%? We made their list smaller. Intentionally. Then cleaned the segments, fixed authentication, and let the engagement signals rebuild the reputation.
If you're managing email for clients, lead with a list audit before any growth tactics. It's the fastest way to show impact, and the insight most brands have never considered.

The Email Marketing Fix That Outperforms Every Subject Line Test
Before you run another A/B test, answer this: what's your sender score?
It's the number inbox providers assign your domain. It determines how much of every send actually reaches the inbox. And it's the most overlooked variable in email marketing.
Fixing it
— list hygiene, authentication, segmentation
— moved one client from 31% to 60.5% open rate in 29 days. No creative changes. Zero campaigns paused.
If you're freelancing in email marketing, deliverability audits are your highest-leverage offer. Results show up fast, they're measurable, and clients can't argue with the data.
