We know that if an inbox owner activates a Priority Inbox then the behaviors of the inbox change based on the owner\u2019s behavior. An <a href=\"https:\/\/ui.benchmarkemail.com\/email-marketing\/email-campaigns\">email campaign<\/a> that always got into the inbox before may not have inbox privileges anymore if emails are not opened after a certain amount of unopened deliveries.<\/p>\n<p>It is essential that your campaigns carry a message that is current and pertinent to the client\u2019s needs and wants to result in an opened email. If you\u2019re noticing fewer open rates, try sending more specific subject lines or even resend an opt-in request to make sure your subscribers are still engaged.<\/p>\n<p>If your relationship with your recipients is an exceedingly good one you can even ask them to place you on their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benchmarkemail.com\/resources\/email-glossary-detail\/whitelists\">whitelist<\/a>. If the user is amenable then they may register both your send address and your domain. Doing this ensures that your emails will avoid the junk box and cements your status as \u2018priority\u2019 mail. Of course, not all users are quite so kind&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forgive my brevity today as I write this blog through a congested haze.
