It has been a busy 12 months on the business email landscape with plenty of changes across the industry particularly with GDPR coming into effect in May. Some of these changes have provided challenges, however, overall, we believe that they will benefit business in the long run.
This year’s Return Path annual benchmark report has just been released and the numbers indicate that despite all the changes, overall – email deliverability is improving.
The latest results from the report indicate that email continues to be a very strong business communication strategy.
Overall Inbox placements have increased by 5% globally
This pattern has been consistent throughout the year, with the second quarter producing the highest jump at 7%. The 1% reduction in spam placement is also a good sign of a healthy inbox placement. The average global inbox placement stands at 85% – while trending upwards, this still means that on average 15% of emails are not reaching the inbox. Cumulo9’s sophisticated solution achieves a solid 99.5% measured deliverability to our customer’s Internet Service Providers.
