Most deliverability advice looks only at email list issues and how to design, send and manage your email campaigns. However, not all deliverability problems are solved by removing inactive subscribers and spam complainers, or tunin up your email coding to avoid triggering a spam filter. Instead, seemingly unrelated business decisions can affect the wider application of your email program and undermine its deliverability.

Of course every business wants to close more deals, but the cold, hard truth is: gaining a customer you can’t keep isn’t scalable. According to FirstPageSage , the average customer acquisition cost (CAC) for B2B tech companies is $720. And, if your organization leans heavily into PPC and SEM, it’s even higher at $841. With the cost of new customer acquisition so high, it can take years to pay back the money you spent to acquire that customer.

Long, messy URLs can make your content look cluttered and unprofessional. They also eat up precious character space, which can be a problem for channels that have character limits, like social media and SMS. That's where URL shorteners come in. They create a dedicated short link that redirects to your original URL. That reduces the length of your web links, helping you create clean, trackable links that look great anywhere you share them.
