Why this matters

List decay doesn't announce itself

ZeroBounce analyzed billions of validations to see how fast email data degrades. It isn't a one-time problem — it's constant.

  • Job changes, layoffs, and abandoned accounts are the main causes
  • Most CRMs won't block a bad address from entering your database
  • Most teams don't catch it until bounce rates spike

The 5-check routine

Run this before every send

Use it as a recurring pre-send and post-send checklist — the fastest way to catch problems before they hurt your reputation.

1

Verify your sending identity

Can mailbox providers verify who you are? Make sure SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are correctly configured.

2

Know your list quality

Are you sending to a healthy list? Remove invalid, risky, and repeatedly inactive addresses.

3

Match the promise

Will recipients expect and value this email? Send relevant content to the right segment, at the right frequency.

4

Monitor the response

What is audience behavior telling you? Watch clicks, complaints, unsubscribes, bounces, and inactivity.

5

Review the results

Did you test, monitor, and learn? Check the campaign before sending, and review performance afterward.

Start today
