💡 Pro-tip

It’s important to warm up your email account to ensure your deliverability is on point and your emails land in the inbox instead of the promotions tab or, even worse, the dreaded spam folder.

If your email account is new, we recommend warming it up for at least four weeks. If you have an older account, you can allocate two weeks to prepare it for bulk sending.

With Snov.io Email Warm-up, you can choose sending limits, set a schedule, and choose specific providers for a more targeted approach.

To check your progress, run deliverability tests to check email placement.
