Hi @Fitnessgruppen and Anna :)
Thank you for posting in the Community!
So… Let’s break this down into manageable areas of focus:
1): Bounces due to content occur when email service providers (ESPs) flag your email as spam or reject it outright. This is typically due to:
- Trigger words or phrases in your subject line or body.
- Excessive images or improper formatting.
- A poor sender reputation.
2):
To avoid triggering spam filters:
- Avoid Spammy Words and Phrases: Refrain from using terms like "free," "guaranteed," "act now," or "click here" excessively. A tool like Glockapps can help evaluate your content.
- Keep Text-to-Image ratio balanced: Ensure a healthy balance between text and images (around 60:40 text-to-image ratio is ideal). Include alt text for all images to enhance deliverability.
- You can use this code and adding it to the bottom of the e-mail to help with this: <span style="color: transparent; display: none; height: 0; max-height: 0; font-size: 1px; max-width: 0; opacity: 0; overflow: hidden; mso-hide: all; visibility: hidden; width: 0;">Add text after here.!-->
- Use clean and simple HTML: Avoid overly complex designs or excessive inline styles. Ensure your HTML is responsive and error-free.
- Personalize and Segment Content: Tailor your messaging to your audience, as relevant and engaging emails are less likely to be flagged.
By refining your email content and taking these proactive steps, you should notice a significant reduction in content-related bounces. If you’d like, I can guide you through testing specific emails or reviewing your current campaigns for potential red flags.
Hope that helps or else, let me know! :-)
