An email that lands in spam costs you the same time as one that gets read — just none of the results.
If you just set up email marketing for your salon with a new domain or a fresh business email, this is worth knowing: Gmail, Yahoo and Outlook don’t trust new senders yet. Until you build a track record, your messages are more likely to be filtered before a single client sees them.
Why New Domains Get Flagged
A brand-new domain or email account has no sending history. Mail providers can’t tell yet whether you’re a legitimate business or a spam operation — so they play it safe, and “safe” often means spam.
The Fix: Warm Up Your Domain
The solution is called domain warm-up: sending gradually and building trust before you scale up.
- Start small. Send a handful of emails a day and increase the volume little by little.
- Email your most engaged contacts first — the ones who reliably open and click.
- Set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC on your domain before sending at volume.
