Hey folks, I’m having a really frustrating problem with my HubSpot emails. No matter what I do, they keep ending up in my spam folder. It’s driving me crazy!
I’ve tried marking them as ‘not spam’ over and over, but it’s like my email doesn’t want to learn. Every single time, bam! Right back into spam they go.
I even reached out to HubSpot support about this, hoping they’d have some magic fix. But nope, they weren’t much help either.
Has anyone else run into this? It’s not just marketing emails - I’m talking about ANY email from HubSpot. Important stuff is getting buried in spam and I’m worried I’m missing out on crucial info.
Any tips or tricks to make my email finally get the message that HubSpot is legit? I’m all ears!
yo ethan, i had the same issue. what fixed it for me was checkin my email settings. turns out i had some weird filter messin with hubspot emails. also, try addin their email addresses to ur contacts list. that helped bigtime. if nothin else works, maybe switch email providers? some r just better at handlin this stuff
I’ve been in your shoes, Ethan, and it’s incredibly frustrating. Here’s what worked for me after months of battling this issue:
First, I added HubSpot’s sending domains to my email client’s safe senders list. This helped, but wasn’t a complete fix.
The game-changer was setting up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records for my domain. It’s a bit technical, but HubSpot has guides. This dramatically improved deliverability.
Also, I cleaned up my contact list, removing inactive subscribers. This boosted my sender reputation.
Lastly, I tweaked my email content, avoiding spam trigger words and balancing text-to-image ratios.
It took time, but these steps combined finally got my HubSpot emails consistently landing in the inbox. Hang in there – it’s definitely solvable with some persistence!
I’ve dealt with this exact problem, and it’s a real pain. What finally worked for me was a combination of things. First, I made sure to engage with HubSpot emails regularly - opening them, clicking links, and replying when appropriate. This seems to signal to email providers that the content is valuable.
I also took a close look at my email templates. I found that reducing the number of images and links, and focusing on more personalized, text-based content improved deliverability significantly. It’s a balancing act between engaging design and spam-filter friendliness.
Another crucial step was to segment my email lists more carefully. By sending more targeted, relevant content to smaller groups, I saw a big improvement in engagement rates, which in turn helped with inbox placement.
Lastly, don’t underestimate the power of patience. It took a few weeks of consistent effort before I saw real changes. Keep at it, and you should see improvement over time.
Have you considered that the issue might be on the recipient’s end? I faced a similar problem and discovered it was due to overzealous spam filters at the company level. Our IT department had to whitelist HubSpot’s IP ranges and sending domains to resolve it.
Another approach that helped was gradually warming up our sending domain. We started with small batches of emails to engaged contacts and slowly increased volume over time. This improved our sender reputation significantly.
You might also want to check your email authentication setup. Ensure your SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records are correctly configured. These technical aspects can make a big difference in email deliverability.
Lastly, review your email content. Avoid excessive use of images, links, or spam-trigger words. Sometimes, simple changes in content strategy can yield surprising improvements in inbox placement.
