The Challenge

Burn20 came to Maropost with half a million subscribers and a big problem: their deliverability numbers were dropping and no-one could figure out why.

Well, we figured out why. Leveraging our unique relationship with ISPs, Maropost’s deliverability team discovered that the primary issue was a matter of segmentation.

Burn20’s previous solution simply didn’t have the capabilities to segment such a large list. But with Maropost’s unparalleled insight into deliverability and industry-leading segmentation tool – no problem.

Here were Burn20’s goals:

  • Create a deliverability and segmentation strategy
  • Maximize deliverability numbers
  • Optimize performance rates (opens, clicks, conversions, and engagement)
  • Ensure that campaigns only go out to active subscribers

Our list was getting so big and we were running into issues with deliverability and segmentation. Maropost is a powerful system that has helped us send all our campaigns to the right people.

The Solution

A dedicated Director of Deliverabilty from Maropost worked closely with Burn20 to develop an extensive deliverability action plan within Burn20’s existing email strategy. A segmentation strategy was created and executed specifically for Burn20’s needs and audience.

Maropost’s Client Success team followed-up to develop a comprehensive tracking and reporting system – allowing Burn20 to see exactly how and why their numbers were increasing, and how to improve them even further.

  • Implementing deliverability best practices and advanced processes
  • Segmenting lists for active/inactive subscribers
  • Monitoring and optimizing deliverability and engagement rates
  • Harnessing Client Success and Deliverability teams for maximum insight
