You can then start building your email list over time, but we all know email lists start to decay over\u2002time due to inactive users, abandoned email accounts, and outdated information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a slow decline, <\/span><b>called an email list decay<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which\u2002can affect your marketing strategies by reducing participation rates and wasting resources.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These businesses can ensure that they are still\u2002reaching the right people through the right channels, making sure that their presence online is consistent and well targeted throughout every campaign they run by understanding how and why email list decay happens and learning how to counteract it. We\u2019ll cover email list decay, important stats, trends in 2024,\u2002and <\/span>how <a href=\"https:\/\/myemailverifier.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>myEmailVerifier<\/b><\/a> can be your one-stop solution<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to maintaining a healthy email list.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What is Email List Decay?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Email list decay is\u2002the gradual decline of a list caused by the continuous removal of valid email addresses. This can happen for various reasons, not the least of which is people switching jobs, changing email\u2002providers, or simply abandoning old email addresses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Email lists <\/span><b>typically<\/b> <b>lose\u200222\u201330%<\/b> <b>of<\/b> <b>their<\/b> <b>audience<\/b> <b>annually,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which means that if you don\u2019t actively monitor your list, a large percentage of your audience may become unreachable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s say for example that you run an eCommerce store which now has a subscriber list\u2002of 50,000 users. If the store does not periodically clean and verify its list, 12,000 to 15,000 email addresses would be out of\u2002date in a year. This leads to\u2002bounced emails, lower deliverability, and, in the long run, lesser engagement rates.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Average Email List Health Statistics<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping your email list healthy is crucial for successful email marketing. Here are some important email list health statistics:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>22.5% of email addresses become invalid annually<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (HubSpot).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Over 40% of emails are classified as spam or unengaged by ISPs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Campaign Monitor).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Email lists with higher engagement rates generate up to 760% more revenue<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (DMA Report).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Businesses that clean their email lists regularly see a 20% improvement in open rates<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Litmus Research).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These numbers highlight why regular list cleaning is essential.
