As a new sender, you need to introduce yourself to Internet service providers (ISPs) on your new sending platform. You should gradually grow your email volume over time—a process known as warming—to introduce your mail to ISPs and to avoid overwhelming them with spam-like behavior. Warming emails also allow you to stop sending and regroup if the initial results are unfavorable.
Incrementally doubling the volume of initially small sends is a great way to warm emails. Consider the following example for sending warmed emails:
Generation | Volume |
Important: If you are planning to send in larger volumes, or if you want further guidance on overall sending volume and cadence, contact Lead Gen & CRM's compliance and email delivery team at policy@constantcontact.com.
Be aware that warmed email sends—as well as all email sends—can be modified based on volume and timeframe needs. | ||
First Send | 1,000 emails | |||
Second Send | 2,000 emails | |||
Third Send | 4,000 emails | |||
Fourth Send | 8,000 emails | |||
Fifth Send | 16,000 emails | |||
Sixth Send | 32,000 emails | |||
Seventh Send | 64,000 emails |
In this scenario, the first batch of sent emails are relatively small. These smaller, more targeted email sends do not normally cause concerns for ISPs. From there, subsequent sends incrementally double in size and grow larger. This process is gradual in nature and signifies to the ISP that you are safe and responsible as a sender.
