1. Permission based contact list
Making uses of permission based contact list i.e. opt in or double opt in contact list enable you to achieve high deliverability and avoid the spam report by the recipients. Revive the contact list regularly to keep it clean and valid.

Don’t forget to provide for an unsubscribe link in your email. The access to unsubscribe link should be made it easy and simple so that your email recipients can use it to unsubscribe instead of reporting for spam. Make it sure that you have removed unsubscribed contact list from your contact list next time when you send emails.

3. Planning the subject line
The subject line should be short, compelling and interesting .The open rate is relatively high for the email which contain short, compelling and interesting subject line. It helps the reader to decide whether to open and read the email or not. If your email ends up with unopened then all your efforts’ and opportunities to reach out your recipient get vanished. Hence give due consideration on planning the subject line.

Keep the email short and content rich with informative. Provide headline for each topic. This helps the reader to scan the topics and read the one which they feel interesting and useful.

5. Professionally formatted email
Your email should look like professional email. Format the email properly and if you use HTML format make sure the colours and formatting do not spoil or abstract the importance of the content. It should be pleasing and professional. If you use text format make sure your size is neither too small nor too big and properly aligned.
