How long does it take Icomm to deliver emails?
It is important to understand that Icomm is in charge of sending the emails to each carrier according to the schedule established on the platform. This schedule can be viewed in the Results module. However, carriers may experience delays in delivering emails to individual contacts. Some reasons behind email delivery delays are as follows:
In general, emails go through several filtering and verification processes before being delivered to carriers. These processes include content review, spam detection, and sender authentication, among others. Although Icomm strives to expedite these processes, delays may occur if emails require additional review or if potentially malicious content is detected.
Each carrier has its own delivery infrastructure and policies, which can affect the time it takes to deliver emails to each contact. Some carriers may experience occasional network congestion or delays due to technical issues. These delays are outside of Icomm's direct control, but the platform is constantly working to optimize delivery and minimize any negative impact.
Although email delivery delays may be unavoidable in some cases, there are steps you can take to maximize efficiency and minimize delays. Here are some helpful tips:
We recommend scheduling emails 15 to 10 minutes before the desired time. This allows Icomm sufficient time to process and send the emails to the carriers, ensuring a higher probability of on-time delivery.
If you have a large and robust database, it is advisable to partition it to optimize delivery. To do this, download the database and divide it into several regular profiles with a smaller number of contacts. Converting one large database to several smaller ones reduces the load and speeds up the submission process. Divisions should not contain complex data universes, as only email is needed for this procedure.
At the structure level, it is advisable to use simple and direct email pieces. Use a single image. Avoid using blocks, columns, and multiple links, as this can slow down loading and complicate email processing. By maintaining simplicity in part design, delivery efficiency is improved.
Subject lines should grab the recipient's attention and generate interest in opening the email. Originality and relevance are key to standing out in the inbox and increasing the likelihood of successful delivery.
Sender reputation plays a crucial role in email delivery. Maintain a good reputation by following email sending best practices, such as avoiding sending unsolicited content, ensuring your subscribers have opted-in to receive your emails, and monitoring any spam complaints. A good shipper reputation will improve the trust of carriers and increase the chances of timely delivery.
