Show Notes

Today we’re going right to the heart of email marketing and answering your burning questions!

To do that, I’m joined by Dawn Richardson, Product Education Manager at Flodesk and owner of Tech Savvy Creative.


Dawn is here to explain how your emails end up in spam, strategies to get better open rates, and why you should stop sending reengagement campaigns immediately.

She’s got the stats from millions of emails sent through Flodesk, so you can stop guessing what works and use the strategies that are effective in 2025 (rather than repeating things that haven’t worked since 2015).

Tune in and you’ll learn:

  • Exactly how email deliverability works and why it matters (even for tiny lists!)
  • Why you need to be sending your emails from a custom domain (not gmail)
  • How to warm up your domain if you’re sending your first email in a long time (or ever)
  • How to clean your list without wrecking your stats
  • The outdated email practice messing with Amelia’s open rates šŸ‘€
  • Plus answers to more questions from Interweb members with businesses like yours!
