GetResponse Op-In Confirmation Going To Spam Folder

4 replies
So I've researched a lot of email list/landing page services, and decided GetResponse is the best for my particular needs. With that being said...

If I choose to have an opt-in email confirmation sent to a potential list subscriber, the confirmation email goes straight into the spam/junk folder. I've tested this on Gmail, Outlook and my own website email, and all go into the spam/junk folders.

I don't want to build a list of subscribers just to have a list of subscribers - I want them to want my weekly emails. Now, in order for them to download my eBook (sign-up enticement), they need to provide their email address, which then takes them to a "Thank You" page letting them know what to expect from the weekly newsletter and a button (direct link) to the eBook. So they've already subscribed at that point. I would prefer the double opt-in option to avoid "cold" subscribers.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Phil

    Your "from" email address could be the culprit. I've found gmail addresses can go to spam where an email such as @yourwebsite seems to work well.

    I would go for the single opt-in, you can always clean up your list later.

    One thing you could do that would actually make your list more responsive is to make a short welcome video. Here you can show your new prospects how to white list your mails.

    How much the server/ip address/email headers/email content is optimized, 5 - 10% email goes into junk folder. No matter which service you use or host your own autoresponder with optimized server.
    DO NOT expect 100% deliverability.
