Retro Rides Roundup Subscribers - Please Read

[HoTWire]

Hello,

Do you subscribe to our newsletter? We did some changes to it this week in order to help improve the content and deliverability of it, however the open rate has gone down. So we're trying to find why. I suspect it has gone in to people's junk mail (usually the reason for a lower open rate on an email), if you are a subscriber can you have a look for it.

If it has gone to your junk/spam folder can you tell us which email provider you are using, I suspect gmail and outlook are the likely candidates for hating us. Can you also mark it as not spam if you are using either of those.

Thanks

I’ve already pointed out to David a few weeks ago all RR emails seem to do this, no matter how many times you tell outlook they’re not spam- including the club membership renewal he was trying to send me.
Rather annoying but seems to be an outlook thing.

I get it on three email addresses........ (Mainly because I am trying to kill two of them)

I only open it and read it on the first one I see

But I've only ever done that!!!

gmail goes straight in my inbox - This would be very bad for the RR events if it went to Spam HoTWire will know why

sky (Yahoo) goes straight to my inbox

hotmail (Outlook) goes straight to spam - no matter how many times I tell it it's not spam!!!! (Outlook must really hate RR)

For those people using Outlook, there are two different ways to tell it things aren't spam.

1) mark it as not spam. This seems to move that email to the inbox, but doesn't change how it treats future mails.

2) Create a rule. Go to your spam box, select the email, click on the ... icon to the top right of the page (to the right of 'undo') and then choose 'create rule'. This lets you choose that messages from a sender always go to your inbox (or wherever else you wish).

If you do the second one it should always work

It goes to my promotions folder which I don't pay much attention to. But I do see it eventually.
