GLOSSARY

Deliverability.

Deliverability concerns whether legitimate marketing email reaches recipients successfully, including inbox placement.

Why it matters

Authentication, consent, engagement and reputation all matter. Delivery and inbox placement are different measures; a message accepted by a mailbox provider may still land in spam.

Track reputation and engagement alongside delivery failures and complaints.

Put it in context

Use this concept alongside the relevant customer journey, business costs and measurement assumptions. A single metric rarely tells the whole story.
