Direct access to our team of postmasters to figure out your ish
The vast majority of deliverability problems are solved by making tweaks to how you collect emails, manage your list, and what you send. But, it’s not always obvious what tweaks need to be made. Fortunately, our team of postmasters is available to review your program and coach you to successfully improve email deliverability.
SPF, DKIM and custom sending domains available at every service level
These technologies are the building blocks of good deliverability today, so we don’t reserve these features for our biggest spenders. Every client has access to these email deliverability best practices to build a reputation and get into the inbox.

Private IPs (and private pools) available for large senders
For larger mailers, our postmasters can further isolate your mailstream — and your reputation — by sending through a dedicated IP (or pool of IPs). This puts you in complete control of every aspect of your email program and your deliverability success.

Ontraport has delivered billions of emails a year on behalf of thousands of customers all over the world for well over a decade, and in that time we’ve built some of the industry’s most capable and bullet-proof delivery infrastructures, allowing us to send hundreds of thousands of emails out the door in minutes for any one account. Talk to our sales team to discuss these capabilities if large-volume send times are important to you.
Real talk: If your provider blows it, you’re in deep doo-doo. Imagine having to switch platforms in the middle of an important launch or sales event… nearly impossible. At Ontraport, we’re so confident in our capabilities that we don’t hold you hostage. If you ever want to use a third-party SMTP (like SendGrid), we’re happy to flip a switch for you.
Sending emails to old, unengaged contacts is worse than useless; it actually hurts your sender reputation and lowers your overall delivery rates. Keep your list squeaky clean with an automated list-cleaning campaign that encourages aging leads to get in touch and quarantines dead leads so they can’t hurt your business.
“Ontraport treats everyone as an individual, delivering just the email they need at just the right time. Whether it's a nurtured sequence, a sales campaign, email mini-course, or timed content that coincides with course materials, the emails that go out to tens of thousands of people around the world every day keep me seamlessly in contact with every one of my clients and students.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What is marketing automation and why is it so important?
Marketing automation is technology that manages repetitive marketing tasks and complex campaigns so you don’t have to. This software allows you to automate your communication with leads and customers throughout the customer lifecycle, from their first touchpoint to post-purchase.
When paired with a CRM that collects data about your leads and customers, your marketing automation software can use that data to deliver engaging, effective experiences across multiple channels. Whether you use email marketing, SMS messages, postcards or a combination of them all, marketing automation will give you the power to turn more leads into customers — without managing the whole process manually.

What is a digital marketing funnel?
Digital marketing funnels are like road maps that your prospects follow until they eventually convert into loyal customers. You can create all kinds of funnels depending on your business and strategy, however most center around the five customer lifecycle stages: Attract, Convert, Fulfill, Delight and Refer.
With marketing automation, your leads and customers will move from one stage to the next based on their interactions with your business. For example, your marketing platform can bump a contact to their next lifecycle stage automatically after they reach milestones like signing up for your newsletter or making a first purchase. The best part is, it all runs on autopilot after you set it up, which gives you the power to scale faster.

What does email delivery refer to?
Email delivery is about successfully getting your emails to the receiving server without bouncing. It’s easily confused with email deliverability, which is about getting your emails into your recipients’ inboxes rather than their spam folders. You can have good email delivery if your messages are being delivered to leads and customers, but still have bad deliverability if they’re landing in the spam folder instead of the inbox.
So if your email platform is showing a 99%+ delivery rate, but you’re noticing that a chunk of your emails still aren’t hitting the inbox, it may be time to revamp your deliverability by following these best practices.

How can I improve email deliverability?
To improve email deliverability, you have to know what inbox providers — like Gmail, Yahoo and Microsoft — look at to determine whether or not your mail should be delivered to the inbox or the spam folder. These inbox providers look at five things that combine to form what’s called your reputation chain:
- Email content and promoted domains
- Historic engagement metrics
- Send-from address
- Return Path and authentication
- IP address
If you follow email marketing deliverability best practices, you should find yourself consistently hitting the inbox and avoiding spam. Check out this article to learn more about specific strategies that can boost your delivery rates.
