Sender Reputation & Inbox Placement Prior to DaaS

Email is a critical communication channel for this global retailer, supporting omnichannel engagement with millions of customers. However, before working with Martech Mavens, they faced significant email deliverability challenges, including

1

Poor inbox placement

with a substantial percentage of emails landing in spam folders.
2

Declining sender reputation

causing ISPs to filter or block emails.
3

High bounce and complaint rates

reducing customer reach and brand credibility.
4

Resource constraints

with their internal CRM team lacking dedicated expertise in email deliverability troubleshooting and strategy.

The retailer understood that email deliverability issues can quickly spiral out of control if not resolved promptly. Without expert intervention, they risked lower engagement rates, wasted marketing resources, and lost revenue.

Sender Score: µ99%
Inbox Placement: Over µ90%
Higher CTA conversion rates
Bounce & complaint rates below industry average

Through DaaS, the retailer now operates with a flawless, worry-free email deliverability strategy, enabling their marketing team to focus on creating high-impact campaigns without technical distractions.

Our team conducted ongoing monitoring, analysing sender scores and ISP feedback loops.
