What is Sender Score?

Sender Score is a reputation rating for email senders, ranging from 0 to 100. It is calculated by various email service providers and companies like Return Path, now part of Validity. The score is based on several factors, including email delivery rates, spam complaints, and engagement metrics.

Importance in Email Marketing:

• Deliverability: A higher Sender Score indicates better email deliverability, meaning emails are more likely to reach the recipient’s inbox rather than being marked as spam.
• Reputation: It reflects the sender's reputation with Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and affects whether emails are accepted or rejected.
• Engagement: High engagement rates with emails, such as open and click rates, positively impact the Sender Score.

Factors Affecting Sender Score:

• Spam Complaints: The number of recipients marking emails as spam.
• Bounce Rates: The frequency of emails that are returned as undeliverable.
• Blacklistings: Instances where the sender's IP address is listed on email blacklists.
• Email Volume: The number of emails sent within a specific period.
• Engagement Rates: Metrics like open rates, click-through rates, and reply rates.
