Tips for approval and performance

  • 1

    Segment the audience, past buyers of a category convert far better than a blast to your full list.

  • 2

    Keep one clear call to action; multiple links dilute clicks and can lower your quality rating.

  • 3

    Always include an opt-out option; high block rates reduce your messaging limit and template quality.
