CleverReach offers a design and spam test as an additional service. This post helps you find out what a design and spam test is and how you can do one in your CleverReach account.
What is a Design and Spam Test?
A design and spam test lets you do a final layout and spam check before actually sending out your newsletter.
When sending your email via our email marketing tool instead of your own email program, it is less likely to end up in your recipient’s spam folder. However, it may happen that some of your emails will still cause spam filters to react – e.g. due to HTML errors in the source code of your email.
Browse this help center post for more tips & tricks on how to create emails and improve the deliverability.
To avoid ending up in the spam folder, we recommend doing a design and spam test before sending your email.
A design & spam test checks:
- Inbox preview of your email: How is your newsletter going to be displayed in the most common email programs (e. g. various Outlook versions, Gmail, Yahoo!)?
- Spam notifications: Could your newsletter trigger a spam notification?
