Why Verify Your Email

Verifying email accounts offers several benefits to both businesses and customers:

  1. Accuracy and Authenticity: Email verification ensures that the email addresses in your database are valid and active, reducing the risk of sending emails to non-existent or inactive addresses. This improves the accuracy of your customer data.
  2. Reduced Bounce Rates: By verifying email addresses, you can significantly reduce bounce rates. Bounced emails can negatively impact your sender’s reputation and deliverability rates. Validating email addresses helps maintain a clean email list, leading to better email delivery rates.
  3. Improved Deliverability: When you send emails to verified addresses, they are more likely to reach the intended recipients’ inboxes. This enhances your email deliverability and increases the chances of your emails being seen and acted upon by customers.
  4. Enhanced Security: Email verification can help protect your business from fraudulent activities such as spam registrations or account takeovers. Verifying email addresses during the signup process adds an extra layer of security.
  5. Better Customer Experience: For customers, verified email addresses ensure they receive important communications, such as account notifications, invoices, and promotional offers. This enhances their overall experience with your business and fosters trust and credibility.
  6. Cost Savings: Validating email addresses can lead to cost savings by reducing wasted resources on sending emails to invalid or inactive addresses. It also helps in targeting your marketing efforts more effectively, leading to better ROI.

Overall, email verification is a fundamental practice that contributes to a healthier email marketing strategy, improves customer engagement, and protects your business from potential risks associated with inaccurate or fraudulent email addresses.

 

IF your emails are going to Spam after you have verified:

You will need to contact your customers and explain that you have verified your business email for there added protection, and your business protection.  Adding the sender to your contacts is a helpful way to ensure that emails from that sender are not mistakenly marked as spam. When you add a sender to Google Contacts, Gmail recognizes that you have a relationship with that contact and reduces the likelihood of their messages being filtered into the Spam folder.

 

IF you have a @bigpond.com email:

If your business uses a @bigpond.com email address, it’s important to note that this domain is a Telstra domain and is no longer supported by Telstra. This means that the @bigpond.com email addresses cannot be verified using typical email verification methods. Additionally, you may need to explore alternative methods or communication channels to ensure smooth communication with your customers.
