50 Words to Avoid in Email Marketing Campaigns

Most people agree that spam–unsolicited email sent in bulk–is a nuisance and can slow down productivity. According to spamlaw.com, spam makes up more than 45% of all emails sent.
Spam filters can cut down on the amount of junk messages that wind up in your inbox. However, professionals who follow the anti-spam laws by using permission-based email lists, often get their messages filtered out too.
So, how can you make sure that your email campaigns go to your prospects’ inboxes and not their spam folders? Unfortunately, there is no sure fire way to do it. However, there are words you can avoid, particularly in the email subject line, which may help your email make it to more inboxes.

Take a look at this list of 50 spam trigger words and phrases. Keep in mind that spam filters often search the frequency that you use the words, not just the words alone. In other words, just because you use a word once in an email, doesn’t mean your email will automatically be relegated to the spam folder.
