Picks for the Best Ways to Reduce Spam Complaints and Unsubscribes

#LitmusLive @LitmusApp @Fluent_HQ

Jordan’s picks:1. It all starts at the moment of

opt-in.

#LitmusLive @LitmusApp @Fluent_HQ

Jordan’s picks:2. Low-hanging fruit: Mobile-

optimize your emails.

#LitmusLive @LitmusApp @Fluent_HQ

Jordan’s picks:3. Don’t send emails that

suck… and don’t be a brand that sucks.

#LitmusLive @LitmusApp @Fluent_HQ

Chad’s picks:1. Make your unsubscribe links

easy to find and your opt-out process simple—no more than one click in the email and one on the landing page.

#LitmusLive @LitmusApp @Fluent_HQ

Chad’s picks:2. Update your post-

unsubscribe survey to include more omnichannel reasons. Use the responses to argue for improvements.
