Help with Common Email Clients

Occasionally, you’ll hear from someone who subscribes to your mailing list but doesn’t receive their initial verification email. Similarly, you may hear from someone who subscribes successfully but doesn’t receive the actual newsletters. Or someone may mysteriously stop receiving newsletters for no apparent reason.

The email delivery system that we use (MailChimp) is very reliable and experience tells us that in almost all of these scenarios, the problem lies with the email being filtered out at the end of the subscriber.

Often the missing emails can be found in Junk, Clutter or Spam folders. Occasionally the emails are filtered by the subscribers email provider before reaching their device.

Subscribers can solve this problem by adding your newsletter email address to their ‘Safe Sender List’ and to their Address Book.
