    Quotes

    “Should I resend to unopens? I wouldn't do it with every send. I would do it sparingly and only if you have a really engaged healthy list. Make sure it makes sense for your scenario and know that there are people who are going to receive it twice.” ~ Alyssa Dulin


    “These deliverability testing tools, I would almost lean toward saying they can sometimes be more hurtful than helpful in the sense that if you don't know what to look for and you also don't understand how the infrastructure works at the ESP, it can be really confusing.” ~ Melissa Lambert
