Does your business or organization send marketing emails? If not, you totally should! Google and Yahoo, who together represent over 50% of consumer inboxes, are rolling out new email marketing requirements that are important to have on your radar.
Beginning today, February 1st, Google and Yahoo are cracking down on spam by imposing authentication protocols like DMARC and Branded Sending to verify legitimate email senders.
Companies sending 5000+ emails per day risk having messages sent to spam or blocked entirely if they don't align 'from' addresses with their domains, enable domain authentication, clearly mark unsubscribe links, and keep complaints below 3 per 1000. If you don't send 5,000+ emails per day, following these protocols are still best practice to avoid deliverability issues.
