The action that the retailer should take to ensure deliverability is not impacted is to send to subscribers, asking for them to confirm opt-in1. Confirming opt-in is a best practice that helps the retailer maintain a clean and engaged email list, which can improve their email reputation and deliverability2. By asking subscribers to confirm their interest in receiving the loyalty series, the retailer can avoid sending unwanted or irrelevant emails that may result in spam complaints, unsubscribes, or low open rates. Confirming opt-in also helps the retailer comply with the CAN-SPAM Act and other privacy regulations that require consent from email recipients3.
Creating a new, friendly From Name for the updated program is not the correct answer, as it does not help with ensuring deliverability. While having a clear and recognizable From Name is important for branding and trust, it does not affect the deliverability of the email itself4. Moreover, changing the From Name too frequently or drastically may confuse or alienate subscribers who are used to seeing a consistent sender identity.
Purging inactive subscribers to avoid high bounce rates is also not the correct answer, as it does not help with ensuring deliverability. While removing invalid or non-existent email addresses from the list can reduce bounce rates, it does not address the issue of subscriber engagement or consent. Purging inactive subscribers may also result in losing potential customers who may still be interested in the retailer's products or services, but have not opened or clicked on their emails recently. A better approach is to segment and target inactive subscribers with re-engagement campaigns that offer incentives or value propositions to renew their interest.
