Say “No” to No-reply Email Addresses

As an email marketer—and consumer—I’m firmly against the use of “no-reply@‍company‍.com” email addresses.

The second I see that as the reply-to email address from a sender, it immediately tells me they have no desire to hear from me as a customer, whether I need help or just want tell them something positive.

Don’t know how to handle the potential influx of replies if you want to pivot away from the dreaded no-reply? Nicole Swift, our very awesome Customer Support Senior Manager, shares how in our blog post.

So let’s make a pact, readers, and say “no” to the no-reply.

Hiya! I’m Jaina and I lead the email team here at Litmus and bake a mean banana bread. (As in delicious—it’ll never be knowingly mean.)

Our State of Email Workflows survey has got me curious. When was the last time you reviewed or updated your email workflow? I’m a bit of a process nerd, and love to give a process or workflow a spruce up when I think it might need it!
