Modern marketing missives may not rely on carrier pigeons, but they can still get lost on their way to customers' inboxes. The most common reason emails don't make it is an outdated, messy email list—and about a quarter of an email list goes bad every year. That's a lot of missed messages. It's vital to validate your email list at least once a quarter—especially before the crowded holiday season—so you can avoid bounces resulting from fake and bot-created email accounts. Zerobounce can help you take it a step further and test your email deliverability. Before you even send an email, see where it will land with popular providers around the world. If it doesn't land in the inbox, you can adjust until it does—and deliverability platforms are a lot more responsive than pigeons.
