To decrease any possibility that the emails you send to respondents end up in their inboxes and not in the spam or other filtered folder, try following these steps:
-
Use only your real correspondence email address in the From: Email Address field instead of a fake, made-up address.
-
Consider asking your target respondents to add your correspondence email address to their contacts or whitelist it. This will help avoiding the spam folder for your messages.
-
The Subject line of your messages should inform on the content of your email and the purpose of sending.
-
Send your emails in the Plain Text mode if possible since most spam filters consider emails containing the HTML code as potential spam messages.
-
Avoid using embedded images within the email body and attaching files (documents, images, executable files, etc.) to the email itself. These can be treated as spam indicators.
-
Make your email looks competent so it does not contain capital-letter words, superfluous punctuation, etc.
