New Email Marketing guidelines in 2024
Email marketing is an indispensable tool for business communication because it offers managers the chance to communicate directly with their contact base. However, the announcement of new authentication rules by Gmail and Yahoo shows that the email marketing landscape is about to undergo significant changes, with the aim of combating spam and improving email security.
At ASCEND, we understand the importance of this tool for your company to promote its products. However, when millions of unwanted emails are blocked on a daily basis in the global market, a change is needed to ensure that messages reach their recipients while maintaining integrity and effectiveness.
Why is a change necessary?
The continuous increase in spam and phishing has forced email providers to adopt stricter measures. With millions of unwanted emails blocked every day, the need for robust authentication and the implementation of responsible sending practices has never been more critical. These changes aim to protect both email users and legitimate businesses, and ensure that communication is not lost in a sea of unwanted content.
The new rules established by Gmail and Yahoo emphasise the importance of using your own domain, implementing email authentications such as SPF, DKIM and DMARC, and maintaining a low spam report rate. In addition, facilitating the unsubscribe process is now a mandatory requirement, ensuring that recipients can easily opt out of receiving further communications.
