What's Inside Every Email

Body
Last Tuesday, a client showed me a funnel leaking 40% of warm leads at the same stage every month.

They'd been optimizing ad spend, refining targeting, and split-testing landing pages. The problem wasn't any of that. It was the follow-up email — sent three days too late, to the wrong segment.

One shift. Four days later, reply rate went from 1.8% to 9.3%.

If you're running sequences without this check in place, you're leaving the same money on the table.

When and How Often to Send

Frequency Rules

📢Broadcasts: 1–2x per week maximum. More than that and unsubscribes climb fast.
Sequences: Minimum 2–3 day gaps between automated touches.
📬Volume: Never batch-send to your full list at once — warm the list, protect deliverability.

Timing Windows

📅Best days: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday outperform Monday and Friday consistently.
🕙Morning window: 9–11 am in recipient's timezone performs strongest for B2B.
🕑Afternoon window: 1–3 pm in recipient's timezone works well for B2C and re-engagement.

The Hidden Performance Factor

Deliverability Checklist

If your emails don't reach the inbox, nothing else matters.

Infrastructure — Must Have
Dedicated sending domain — separate from your main business domain to protect it
SPF record configured and verified on sending domain
DKIM record configured — mandatory for modern deliverability
DMARC policy set to protect against spoofing and phishing
Warm the IP before any large send — never go from 0 to 100K in one batch
List Hygiene — Zero Tolerance
Remove hard bounces immediately — every single one, no exceptions
Remove soft bounces after 3 attempts — don't burn your reputation chasing dead addresses
!
Never buy email lists — this is non-negotiable at Wundertre. Full stop.

Unsubscribe rate above 0.5%? Stop and audit your content and segmentation immediately
