Over the years, the company expanded from 2 to 45 mailboxes and ran numerous email campaigns. However, they began to encounter significant issues with their email domain.

Folderly began by conducting an in-depth analysis of the client's domain health, including its Sender Score, relationship with blacklists, and DNS settings. The analysis revealed that the client's domain was in poor health, with a low Sender Score and a negative relationship with spam filters. To address this, Folderly decided to work on two fronts: reviving the existing domain and building a new one from scratch. For the existing domain, Folderly identified that the client was using outdated templates, which were associated with spam content by email service providers. Folderly rewrote the client's templates to meet modern requirements and launched a warm-up campaign to gradually restore the domain's performance. Simultaneously, Folderly set up a new domain for the client, ensuring it was compatible with all email services and marketing apps the client used. They also ran warm-up campaigns for the new domain to build a positive image with email service providers. Folderly continued to monitor the health of both domains to ensure smooth and steady performance.

The efforts of Folderly led to significant improvements in the client's email marketing performance. The old domain was successfully revived, with its Sender Score returning to its former position. The new domain, under Folderly's guidance, showed quick growth and excellent deliverability stats, with a reply rate 50% higher than the old domain. The client also saw great progress across all 45 mailboxes with the updated templates. The use of Folderly's mailbox analysis tool provided the team with insights into the inner workings of deliverability, making their email marketing campaigns more effective. This allowed the client's team to plan their roadmap in greater detail. The client continues to monitor their results and update their email templates every 2-3 months to maintain their performance.
