Clean your list twice a year<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Email list cleaning is a job best done every six months. If you\u2019re not automating this process, you can rest assured that after all the hard work of cleaning your list, you will have ample time to do it again.<\/p>\n<p>Waiting six months gives you enough time to generate a substantial influx of subscribers. You should also have had several opportunities to engage with them and determine their interest in your correspondence.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Add_unsubscribe_buttons\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">3. Add unsubscribe buttons<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Remember, you want to give your subscribers an out, and what better and more efficient way to do that than by putting an unsubscribe button in your future emails?<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t want it front and center above the fold, but somewhere visible so those who want to find it can.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Use_segmentation\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\">4. Use segmentation<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Do you send bulk emails? If you answered yes, it\u2019s no wonder your bounce rate is exorbitantly high.<\/p>\n<p>Bulk emails to large groups lack <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/email-sequence-personalization\/\">personalization<\/a> and personality. They fail to make your subscribers feel special. Instead, they\u2019re one of 10,000 subscribers, so they don\u2019t feel like you\u2019d miss them much when they bail from your list.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps that\u2019s done formally with an unsubscribe, or maybe it\u2019s informally done by ignoring your emails. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/what-is-audience-segmentation\/\">Segmenting your audience<\/a> and using dynamic content customized according to your audience groups ensures your emails are anything but generic.<\/p>\n<p>Your messages are tailor-made for your audience, generating their interest, elevating their engagement, and pushing up <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/email-marketing-kpis\/\">email open and click-through rates<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Require_double_opt-ins\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">5. Require double opt-ins<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Making it harder to join your email list keeps the noncommittal ones out. A double opt-in requires a user to receive a text message or email code they must input to continue with their signup.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not uncommon in today\u2019s climate and not terribly time-consuming either, but it does take time that some of your subscribers don\u2019t have. That\u2019s already a measure of their minimal engagement and interest, so you\u2019re better off not having them on your list.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Use_automated_win-back_emails\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">6. Use automated win-back emails<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When customer engagement is at a standstill, institute <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/win-back-email-examples\/\">win-back emails<\/a>. As the name tells you, these emails are designed to re-grab the attention of leads who have converted and made several purchases but have since gone inactive.<\/p>\n<p>Sending win-back emails before your lead goes cold can lead to repeat business, but it\u2019s all a matter of timing. That\u2019s why <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/marketing\/marketing-automation\">marketing automation software<\/a> is so beneficial here.<\/p>\n<p>You can automate win-back emails that transcend time zones and office hours, reducing the number of lost customers.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Incorporate_interactive_content\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">7. Incorporate interactive content<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Part of pruning your email list involves striving for better engagement with the subscribers you have, achievable by sending more captivating content. For example, interactive content like polls, quizzes, and buttons will inspire your subscribers to click through.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Dont_immediately_give_up_on_soft_bounces\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">8. Don\u2019t immediately give up on soft bounces<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you read our email deliverability series, you\u2019ll recall that hard and soft bounces differ at the source. A soft bounce is a temporary error, whereas a hard bounce is permanent.<\/p>\n<p>Although the source of a soft bounce can be attributed to the internet service provider (ISP) or recipient, and you won\u2019t know which, most soft bounce issues get resolved sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n<p>Note which email addresses generate soft bounces when you email them, then set them aside on a separate list. Do not send them any emails the rest of your list receives for several weeks, maybe even a month.<\/p>\n<p>Then try again. You might find that the source of the bounce has been resolved, and the email address can receive emails again.<\/p>\n<p>If not, you might consider isolating for several weeks to a month, and then try again. However, if this email address still can\u2019t get emails, it\u2019s time to remove them. You can also remove them if they bounce twice. <strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Use_welcome_emails_to_your_advantage\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">9. Use welcome emails to your advantage<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>An email automation workflow can send <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/ecommerce-welcome-emails\/\">welcome emails<\/a> the moment a new subscriber joins your email list. This paves the way for building engagement, as does the rest of the nurturing emails you send to leads at that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/sales-pipeline-stages\/\">stage in the funnel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The welcome email should inform your audience how often they should expect emails from you. Those who don\u2019t wish for such frequent communication might turn right around and unsubscribe, which is for the best.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Try_an_email_cleaning_service\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>10.
