We have an app called Stork and it’s a new publication alert service for life science researchers. We send 1.2 million emails per month and thus have accumulated a lot of experience on email sending. One particular lesson we learned is that we need to understand there are two types of emails when communicating with customers, Marketing Email and Transactional Email. These two types of emails need to be treated differently. For example, you definitely want to use two separate (sub)domains and a third party service providers to make sure the transactional emails go to the receivers’ inbox timely, and the often lower sender reputation associated with marketing emails do not damage the reputation of your main domain.
Here we created an infographic of the two types of email.
