During this test you can check how your message is displayed in the various mail clients before actually sending your email campaign. The level of spam of your content is also tested immediately for the various spam filters. The result is a professional email that is ready to be sent and gives you peace of mind.

To send a large volume of emails you obviously need more than a click on the right button. We have equipped our send engine with powerful tools to ensure that we deliver your message flawlessly at the right destination. Our abuse detection system automatically detects bad rates and suspicious senders. This allows us to keep the sending reputation of the Flexmail servers at the highest level. Furthermore we constantly maintain a good relationship with the most important ISPs and stay up to date with the current industry and technology developments.

Test your message with the proactive message and spam control

An optimal delivery rate is a vital element of the success of your campaign. With Email authentication you’re optimizing your delivery for even better results. Through the implementation of the SPF, Sender ID and DKIM record on domain level the receiving server considers the sending servers as legitimate, resulting in a considerably higher delivery rate. Authentication is a way to prove an email is not forged.

Increase your delivery rate with email authentication

MAXIMUM DELIVERABILITY

The Flexmail Bounce management automatically records which messages could not be delivered. When an email address returns a certain amount of times with the same error code the email address is automatically set to “inactive”. This keeps your mailing lists clean so that you can count on a good reputation.

With the integrated test campaigns you first send your message to a test list before launching your campaign to your target public.

Has your campaign already been sent and do you have new contacts that should receive the same campaign? In Flexmail you can easily re-launch your campaign. You get a joint report and contacts that have already received the original campaign are automatically deduplicated, so that they won’t receive the mail a second time.

And then also:

Page 9: Flexmail Brochure - English

Come up with a catchy subject line, choose your message from the list and enter a send and reply email address. Then determine your target group by combining mailing lists, sub lists, interest groups and preferences. Of course you can also send your campaign to individual contacts. Before you press on the send button you will get a detailed summary of all components of your campaign. After a final check, you choose whether your campaign should be sent immediately, at time intervals or planned for sending on a later time. Whatever you choose, we ensure that your campaign will be sent out under the best circumstances.

COMPOSE YOUR CAMPAIGN IN 4 SIMPLE STEPS
