01Quick answer
Why are my marketing emails going to spam?
Usually because your sending domain is not authenticated. Setting up SPF, DKIM and DMARC, sending from your own domain and keeping your list clean fixes most delivery problems, so every email marketing setup I do starts there. Gmail and Yahoo have required this from bulk senders since 2024.
02What you get

04Sound familiar?
What usually goes wrong.
01
Landing in spam
Your emails go out, but open rates are low because many never reach the inbox.
02
A list you never email
People signed up, but there is no welcome email and no reason to hear from you again.
03
Sequences that stall
Automations stop halfway or send the wrong email to the wrong people.
05Under the hood
What deliverability actually takes.
Nobody can promise the inbox. These are the things inbox providers check, plus the emails that do the selling.
01
Deliverability audit
Your sending domain, DNS records, bounce and complaint rates and blocklist status checked before anything changes.
02
SPF, DKIM and DMARC
Records set up and aligned with your sending platform, with DMARC moved from monitoring to enforcement once the reports look clean.
03
Domain warm-up
A new domain or platform starts with small sends to your most engaged contacts, and volume grows over a few weeks.
04
List hygiene
Bounced, invalid and long-inactive addresses removed or suppressed, so they stop dragging down your sender reputation.
05
Segmentation
Subscribers tagged by interest, source and behavior, so each person gets the emails that matter to them.
06
Welcome sequence
The first three to five emails a new subscriber receives, introducing you and leading to a first enquiry or sale.
07
Nurture emails
Regular, useful emails that keep you in mind until someone is ready to buy or book.
08
Abandoned cart and browse
For shops, reminders that bring back people who left items in the cart or looked at a product.
09
Win-back emails
A short sequence for subscribers who stopped opening, before they are removed from the list.

Which email platform should I use?
It depends on your list size, budget and what you sell. I will recommend one after a short call about your email marketing setup, or set up the platform you already pay for.
Can you move my list from Mailchimp?
Yes. I move your contacts, tags and templates to the new platform and rebuild the automations there.
Do you write the emails?
I set up the email automation and can write or edit the sequence with you. You approve every email before it goes live.
What are SPF, DKIM and DMARC?
They are DNS records that prove your emails really come from your domain. Without them, inbox providers are more likely to send your emails to spam.
How long does an email marketing setup take?
Usually one to three weeks, depending on the platform, the list migration and how many emails the sequences need.
What do I need to provide?
Access to your email platform and your domain DNS, a current export of your list and your brand assets. For sequences, a short brief on your offer and audience.
Can you guarantee my emails reach the inbox?
No one honestly can. Inbox placement depends on your domain reputation, list quality and content. I set up everything inbox providers check and show you how to keep your reputation healthy.
