How to Warm Up Your Email List with Batch Scheduling

This guide explains how to warm up your email list using batch scheduling, a technique that ensures your emails get delivered and avoid spam filters.

Do you have a small list (under 1,000 subscribers)?

1. Skip Batch Scheduling: If you have a brand new list with only a few subscribers (4-10 people), you can send your email campaign directly without batch scheduling.

Do you have a larger list (over 1,000 subscribers)?

1. Prepare Your Email: Create your email newsletter and ensure everything is ready to send.
   
   

2. Schedule in Batches:

   • Go to the "batch schedule" option in your email marketing platform.

   • Set the scheduled send time for a few minutes after you finish preparing the email (e.g., 5 minutes later). This ensures the scheduling happens after you finalize everything.

   • Choose a specific date and time for the email campaign.
     
     

3. Batch Size and Frequency:

   • For a list of 1,000 subscribers, send emails in batches of 25-50 recipients.

   • Repeat sending these batches every hour (or every two hours depending on your results).
     
     

4. Monitor Analytics:

   • Track your email analytics after sending the campaign.

   • Ideally, you want to see a close to 100% delivery rate.
     
     

5. Gradually Increase Batch Size:

   • Based on your analytics, if the previous batch size worked well (high delivery rate), gradually increase the batch size in future campaigns (e.g., from 25 to 50 per batch).

Remember:

• Batch scheduling is most beneficial when migrating from another platform or when you have a large existing list.

• Continuously monitor your analytics and adjust your batch size and frequency based on your results.
