Yesterday, we read about TIPS TO MEASURE YOUR EMAIL PERFORMANCE.
Section 8
CLEAN YOUR LIST
Did you know that an email list decays by about 22.5% every year?
If you have been growing your list for some time, you will need to clean your list, i.e., get rid of subscribers who have not opened or engaged with your emails in a three- to six-month period.
You will get a clearer picture of your stats as well as what your subscribers resonate with. You also don’t want to keep paying for those unengaged subscribers on your list.

Don't Read. Just π§HOW TO CLEAN YOUR EMAIL LIST?
Step 1: Identify cold subscribers
Step 2: Run a re-engagement campaign
Important:
The lower your opens and clicks, the lower your sender score or sender reputation.
Each of the email delivery providers gives you a sender score. The lower it is, the higher the chances of your emails being placed in the promotions or junk folder.
This hurts the placement of your email in the inbox, even for people who may be opening your emails.
