How to avoid SPAM folder in gmail?

by TheFlyingDutchman

Hello everyone,
I'm sending mails using AmazonSES and followed most of the technical & marketing best practises.
Sending 3/4 mails per second.
SPF/DKIM/DMARC etc verified.
Domain not listed in any blacklist.
Took a lot of care for subject & message.
Very less bounce rate (below 0.5%)
personalized mails.

My email lists are cold & all email addresses are from gmail. And checked that ips being used by amazonSES is listed on 2/3 blacklist.

Despite using a cold email list, am i doing something wrong? Or can i do anything to avoid spam?

Note that mail in gmail spam did not provide any specific reason for marking it spam.

Thanks in advance.

    Don't use AmazonSES..

    AmazonSES is known for spammer and many ESP are very critical of all emails set from them, I did a lot of testing with the service with my own mail server and a mail server on amazonSES and the results were night and day. You're just hurting yourself.

    AmazonSES sucks for inboxing anything top level domains. Cable domains it works ok, but dont expect to get anything into gmail from using this service.

    Probably message contents, Gmail filter is very smart. Split test different message templates. Send to small batches 5,000 subscriber and change the message body, testing will tell you what would be the exact problem
