Pushing send is scary. Pushing send during the holidays–when volumes are ramped up and pressure to deliver revenue is heightened–is scariest. But fear not. We have a plan for prepping yourself and your team so that you can send with total confidence and even be the holiday sending hero. 

Email and CRM practitioners have long faced a challenge with their growing SMS programs: They don’t know if their text messages are actually getting through to their recipients’ phones, despite the high price tag of these campaigns. Today Inbox Monster has released a suite of tools to arm marketers with more signals from their SMS program, revolutionizing the approach to the channel. 

Apple has recently rolled out its iOS 17, and there are a few items to note for the email community.This has a familiar feel to many of us: In 2021, Apple rolled out iOS 15 with the new Apple Mail Privacy Protection (MPP), which changed the landscape of email reporting.

We’ve been busy in the lab at Inbox Monster, cooking up another great release for our users that gives more accessibility guidance, enhanced notifications and additional dimensions for critical link checks. Check out what release 8 has in store: 

Today we’re excited to release a new mailstream tracking platform that will arm marketers and compliance teams with more confidence that their email policies are being followed and their data is secure. 

We’ve launched some powerful new features in our creative rendering tool that give teams more clarity on how their emails are showing up in the inbox. While our expanded device views cover all modern email clients, these new features expand the ability to collaborate with team members and also give a wealth of contextual information for each rendering, so users can send with more confidence. 

Inbox Monster announced today in a press release that Mike Means will be joining the team as Head of Global Sales, increasing the email signals platform’s firepower at a crucial moment of growth and innovation. The platform has shown impressive growth in the last two years, expanding to service world class brands in travel, retail and entertainment. 

We had an absolutely brilliant time last week connecting with email geeks of all stripes (and nationalities!) at Inbox Expo in Valencia, Spain. The sense of community and collaboration at this event was overwhelming. Here are just a few of the nuggets we walked away feeling inspired by: 

Last month, we completed a spam trap expansion that significantly increased our visibility into traps of various forms worldwide, making Inbox Monster the largest spam trap network. We’re here to empower marketers with more inbox signals so they can make smarter decisions, and this is a major milestone with millions (we’re talking 100s of millions!) of traps now in the network. 

One of the most common and enduring questions we get asked from our customers: What do all these different spam traps mean? As we increase the amount of signals in our platform, we thought it might be good to come up with a way for all of us to keep tabs. 

‍Here at Inbox Monster, we love deliverability, data and everything email-geeky. But we also love getting a delightful email. Whether the subject line made us crack a smile or the personalization was on point, good email is just great. So, we’d like to bring you this series in which we call out some really delightful emails that have hit our inbox.

Remember last summer when Spamhaus released a “tidal wave” of informational listings? These warning signs of poor sending practices certainly got the attention of more than a few marketers and brands. Now that we’ve all caught our breath, we checked in with Matthew Stith, Industry Liaison at Spamhaus, to ask what’s next for these cautionary informational listings and what impact they have made.
