How to Clean an Email List
?
Email marketing is one of the most effective ways to reach your target
audience and drive revenue growth. However, sending emails to inactive
or invalid email addresses can harm your sender reputation and lead to low
open rates and high bounce rates. That’s why it’s important to regularly
clean your email list. Here are some steps you can take in order to
effectively clean an email list:
1. Remove Duplicates: Identify duplicate entries within the
database, removing them from the system.
2. Eliminate Invalid Email Addresses: Use validation
software/tools that check for syntax errors/typos/etc.,
identifying & eliminating invalid addresses.
3. Segment Inactive Subscribers: Separate subscribers who
haven’t opened/clicked any emails over a certain period of time
(e.g. 6 months), creating separate lists for further engagement
strategies
4. Verify Deliverability Rates: Check spam reports/bounce
rates/unsubscribe rates/etc., ensuring deliverability issues are
addressed promptly5. Re-Engage Inactive Subscribers: Send re-
engagement campaigns with personalized
messaging/offers/incentives etc., hoping they’ll become active
again
5. Purge Hard Bounces: Delete hard bounces which occur when
messages get returned because of incorrect contact details/email
address no longer exists etc.
