Your email list vs. the emails that actually make it to the inbox.

Not every email you send gets delivered. In fact, 1 in 6 emails never reach the inbox.

That’s why email deliverability matters.

A massive subscriber list means nothing if your emails are landing in spam, bouncing, or getting filtered out before guests ever see them.

Strong deliverability starts with:
✔️ Domain authentication
✔️ Clean email lists
✔️ Consistent sending
✔️ Engaged subscribers
✔️ Re-engagement campaigns

At Switchback Email, we help vacation rental brands improve inbox placement so more emails get seen, and more stays get booked.

Because sometimes your 50,000 subscriber list is really… a handful of wilted spinach. 🫠

We loved the insights Really Good Emails had from Litmus Live 2026! ✨ One of our resolutions this year is keeping emails short, sweet, and skimmable, so every message makes an impact.

"If your email can be compressed into a one-sentence summary without losing anything, design for that. Lead with the thing that matters. If the value isn't in the first two lines, it might not matter where the value is.”

Most vacation rental emails fail before they’re even sent because they’re reactive instead of strategic.

One promo one month. Silence the next. Then a packed email trying to do everything at once.

Consistent email marketing is not about sending more. It’s about sending with purpose.

Guests rarely book after one touchpoint. They browse, compare, revisit, wait… and often book after a reminder puts your brand back in front of them at the right time.

The vacation rental companies seeing stronger email performance are the ones treating email as part of the guest journey, not a last-minute task.
Every email should have one clear job:

✔ Inspire bookings
✔ Highlight availability
✔ Bring back past guests
✔ Recover abandoned bookings
✔ Support direct booking goals

Consistency creates momentum. And momentum drives bookings. Read more on our blog:

So whether you're striking back with a re-engagement flow or awakening your audience with a fresh campaign, trust the process… and your metrics.

May the 4th be with your inbox.

The path to a booking isn’t linear, it’s layered. Today’s travelers don’t convert from a single touchpoint. They move between channels, building familiarity and trust along the way. Email, paid ads, and organic social each play a role in guiding the journey.

Our partnership with Studio82 Digital is a true team effort, aligning strategy across every channel to maximize opportunity and drive more bookings. When these channels work together, they don’t compete, they compound.

The result? More confident customers and more completed bookings.
