Welcome to the 99% Inbox Placement Club: Your Catalyst to Email Revenue

Introducing the 99% Inbox Placement Club

What is the “99% Inbox Placement Club”?

Think of it like the Grammys or the Oscars but for email marketers — and it celebrates one special, but valuable trait. These senders are achieving a minimum of 99% inbox placement, and some are even seeing 100% inbox placement rates! And with over 350 billion emails sent globally every single day (and more than 50% of that classified as spam), being able to reach the inbox is no small feat.

That’s why we founded the 99% Inbox Placement Club — to sing the praises of excellent email marketing programs. This exclusive club is made up of Bloomreach customers who have used the Bloomreach Engagement platform to the fullest — and have seen over 99% of emails they send out make it safely into customers’ inboxes. These brands are the true heroes of email marketing! 

And let’s be clear: We’re not talking about delivery rates. 99% delivery rates are common for senders. But where those emails land, once delivered, makes all the difference. For these 50 brands — the inaugural members of our club — they’re seeing at least 99% of their emails being placed in customers’ inboxes. 

So, if your emails aren’t hitting the inbox, where are they being delivered? Unfortunately, the answer is the dreaded spam folder. We know from our own personal experience how rarely we check our spam folders. If your emails are landing here, you might as well have not sent them. 

What we need to consider is that emails ending up in spam represent a financial loss.  It’s money left on the table since the number of people who get to hear about your big promotion or your exciting new product release has shrunk.  We’ve determined that across our Bloomreach customers, increasing inbox placement rate from 94.4% to 99% will drive a 4.8% increase in conversions! And when brands miss the mark and end up in spam folders, it has a measurable impact on their bottom line. 

But let’s get back to our heroes. Our inaugural class of 50 customers secured a minimum of 99% inbox placement for the month of April. Their focus on being a good sender means that mailbox providers trust them, and that trust — that reputation — they’ve formed with Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, and others has paid off.

Your focus and commitment to creating a great customer experience and maintaining a good sender reputation is paying dividends — as a result of this dedication you have gained unparalleled access to customers’ inboxes.
