On February 1, 2024, Gmail and Yahoo are ushering in changes that will reshape the email marketing landscape. Are you ready??? 

Let's take a look at the key changes and discover why IHUBApp takes another giant leap forward by becoming a better solution for small business owners who are looking to deliver content.

A Quick Overview of Gmail's 2024 Changes

As of February 1, #Gmail and Yahoo are implementing stricter policies for bulk email senders. These changes are centered on reducing spam emails in their users' inboxes. Adapting to these changes is essential for a successful email strategy.

Small business owners, especially those sending bulk emails (i.e., #newsletters, sales funnel emails, etc.), must do the following:

• Use domain-based email (NOT a free Gmail or Yahoo account) with DKIM, SPF, and DMARC records properly set up.
• Ensure that you have a single-click unsubscribe.
• Have a spam complaint ratio below 0.1%. 

Those who don't are not likely to make it into Google (and Yahoo) inboxes after the end of January 2024!

Evaluate Your Current Email Marketing Approach

Now is the time to take a hard look at how you're doing your #emailmarketing. 

Here are three things you must consider:

• How reliant is your marketing on bulk emails? Assess the extent to which your current strategy depends on mass email campaigns.
• Are your emails authenticated and compliant with the new standards? Review your email practices to ensure they align with Gmail’s upcoming requirements.
• Do you have an easy unsubscription process? This will become increasingly important to maintain a good sender reputation
