On October 30, 2024, Litmus, a leader in email marketing, announced the release of new products and platform updates. These include Sender Authentication in Litmus Email Guardian, along with Animated Video and Image Carousels in Litmus Personalize. With these enhancements, marketers can effectively monitor emails for rendering issues, broken elements, and critical email infrastructure settings. Additionally, they can now incorporate engaging video previews and animated image carousels directly within emails. These powerful tools further establish Litmus as a one-stop shop for optimizing emails, providing solutions for email testing, personalization, collaboration, real-time 24/7 monitoring, and more.
Email remains central to the customer journey. However, with an average deliverability rate of just 83.1%, one in six emails never reaches the inbox. Litmus Email Guardian offers always-on email authentication monitoring, ensuring that users are alerted to deliverability issues before they escalate, thereby safeguarding emails from potential problems and ensuring compliance with Google and Yahoo sender requirements.
Video content is increasingly essential in marketing, with over 90% of recipients expressing a desire for more video marketing material and 54% of email subscribers preferring emails that include video. With Litmus, leveraging the power of video has never been easier. Marketers can captivate their audiences and encourage action by automatically playing engaging video previews directly in their emails—no extra effort required.
