Email Deliverability Issues and High Bounce Rates
Fire&Spark, a digital marketing agency, focuses on SEO that builds authority. By securing high-end PR placements and backlinks for their clients, the Fire&Spark team grows their clients' reputation and rankings while establishing them as authority figures in their fields.
Besides the high bounce rates, Fire&Spark was seeing low response rates, hovering around 6%.
“Bounces were a BIG problem for us. We had bounce rates as high as 40% percent.”
At the time, the Fire&Spark team was using a competing outreach tool, but also relied on ScrapeBox for prospecting, Hunter for contacts, and the aid of outside contractors to help put it all together.
In an attempt to mitigate the high bounce rates they were experiencing in the other tool, they would manually send out emails one by one, a time consuming process that greatly limited their ability to scale.
“We were spending money on so many different software. A lot of unnecessary time was spent to get almost no responses. It was just a very disheartening process.”
