However, launching a bulk email campaign is similar to rolling a huge rock uphill. If you think you can do it all alone with one push, then think again!
You need proper momentum to achieve decent speed, you need to follow certain steps to ensure that emails are opened and read by all recipients.
Apart from your content, your reputation is what will decide whether your emails are being opened or marked as spam.

• Mapping out a campaign review matrix to study where the brand is headed towards
• Running repeated tests that will improve the quality of your campaign.
