Cleaning your email contact list is essential to maintaining a healthy email marketing strategy. Here are some effective ways to clean your email contact list:

1. Identify and Remove Invalid Email Addresses

Use the Semailer email verification tool to identify and remove the following:

  • Misspelled email addresses.
  • Fake or non-existent emails.
  • Hard bounces.

2. Use an automated email cleaning tool

Seamailer has an email verification tool that can clean your contact list by verifying the validity of email addresses and removing invalid ones. Here's how you can use it to maintain a high-quality, engaged email list:

  • Define inactivity (e.g., no opens or clicks in the last 3-6 months).
  • Send a re-engagement email campaign to inactive subscribers. Remove those who don’t respond.

3. Eliminate duplicate emails

  • Use email marketing software or spreadsheet tools to find and delete duplicate email addresses.

4. Check for Role-Based ad Generic Emails

  • Remove emails like info@, support@, or sales@, as these are often shared accounts and have lower engagement rates.

5. Segment Your List by Engagement

  • Group subscribers based on their engagement level (e.g., highly engaged, moderately engaged, and inactive). Focus on your active and engaged subscribers.

6. Correct Typos

  • Spot typos in domains (e.g., gmial.com instead of gmail.com).

7. Review Unsubscribes and Complaints

  • Remove email addresses that have unsubscribed or flagged your emails as spam.

8. Test Deliverability

  • Analyze and monitor which email addresses result in soft bounces (temporary issues like full inboxes). If soft bounces persist, remove those addresses.

9. Ensure Compliance with Privacy Laws

  • Remove contacts who haven’t given proper consent, especially if you’re targeting regions with strict regulations like GDPR, CAN-SPAM, or CASL.

10. Regularly Update Your List

  • Clean your email list every 3-6 months to ensure it remains effective and up-to-date.
