DESCRIPTION

Neolane and Return Path recently hosted a webinar entitled, “7 Practical Email Deliverability Resolutions You Can Stick to in 2013.” The premise was that setting email deliverability goals can be a lot like making New Year’s resolutions: if they are too vague or too daunting, they are more likely to be abandoned. For this reason, the presenters outlined practical resolutions that email marketers can actually keep in order to improve deliverability and email marketing ROI.
