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
