𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 NOT 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲.

I know. 😆

There’s something incredibly satisfying about running your email through a testing tool, fixing all the little red X’s, and watching that score climb.

89…
97…
100!

Look at us being deliverable!

Except...
Mailbox providers don’t care what some email tester scored you.

And blindly fixing every “issue” a testing tool flags can actually create new problems.

Because those scores are subjective.

Someone decided:
▪️What gets tested.
▪️What constitutes an “issue.”
▪️How many points you lose for it.
▪️And what they recommend you should do to fix it.

Run the exact same email through multiple testing tools and you may get multiple opinions.

Because that’s what they are.

Opinions.

Now, does the technical side of email deliverability matter?

Absolutely.

You need your authentication right.
You need your sending infrastructure configured correctly.
You need a solid technical foundation.

But that’s just the foundation.

It’s not the whole house.

Email deliverability is only about 10% technical… the other 90% is all behavioral.

Because at its core, deliverability isn’t a technical problem.

All the technical fixes in the world will not save you from the spam folder.

Beyond all the techy stuff, mailbox providers are watching what you do - and what their users do in response.

They’re like a parent, protecting their kids from bad guys (and numb-nuts 🥜)

So don’t build your email strategy around making some email testing tool happy.

Focus on becoming the message your audience can’t wait to engage with.

Do images, highlighted links, emojis, buttons, and all that other “markety” stuff affect email deliverability?

Sure. They can...

But generally speaking, a single image, link, emoji, word, or whatever isn't going to send your email straight to jail - do not pass Go, do not collect $200. (I mean... there are exceptions, but let's not go there right now) 😆

It’s more about the overall number of boxes being checked.

Image? Check.
Multiple links? Check.
Big fat button? Check.
Salesy language? Check.
Urgency? Check.

Mailbox providers are looking at the whole package, not clutching their pearls over one 💲 emoji.

And listen…you’re a marketer. You need to market.

You need to be able to use links. You may need images. Sometimes a button or an emoji makes sense.

The answer is not to strip every useful marketing element out of your email.

The better question is:
Does the overall email feel so overtly markety that I’m practically waving a giant RED flag?

And even that isn’t the whole story...

Who are you sending it to?

Is this a brand-new opt-in who's never received an email from your sending domain before?

Or is it someone who has been on your list for months - opening, clicking, replying, and consuming your content?

Could be the same email.

But a different relationship.

Different context.

So don’t get caught up in the black-and-white nature of the standard email deliverability buzz out there...

Everybody has an opinion.

Your numbers get the final vote.

So test it.

Try one version against another.

See what happens.

Then, let the data do the talking.
