The $30k email mistake: list hygiene before your next send
Summary
Poor deliverability and misleading metrics cost the author time and money until they fixed rotten contact data. The article prescribes a five-step workflow: consolidate and normalize contacts, verify addresses before sending, segment by intent, process bounces immediately, and track reliable KPIs like clicks and revenue per delivered email. It recommends specific tools (eMail Verifier/MaxBulk Mailer and eMail Bounce Handler) and concrete suppression rules to protect sender reputation. The author reports trimming ~48,000 contacts to ~39,500 via dedupe/verification, which eliminated hard bounces, restored replies, and increased email-driven revenue.
