When running a business with an online presence emails to clients is a daily job. Ensuring that your emails are arriving in their inbox instead of being filtered to junk/spam folders is critical. If you are marketing via email to get the word out on your latest offers and promotions, even the best offer will not help if no-one reads the email, this is why Email Authentication is vital.

Making sure that your domain is correctly set up with Email Authentication is so important.
