Introduction: Why Prioritizing Engaged Customers Matters

In email marketing, engagement determines success. The more an audience interacts with emails—through opens, clicks, and website visits—the better the chances of inbox placement rather than being marked as spam.

However, not all subscribers engage in the same way. Some customers are highly active, regularly opening emails and making purchases, while others show little to no interaction. Sending emails to an entire list without prioritization can lower deliverability rates, weaken sender reputation, and reduce engagement.

Priority Sending offers a smarter approach by ensuring that the most engaged customers receive emails first. By focusing on subscribers who are more likely to open and interact with emails, this method improves campaign performance while strengthening IP and domain reputation.

cmercury’s Priority Sending feature optimizes email delivery based on engagement scores, ensuring that high-value customers receive communications first, improving both deliverability and conversion rates.

What is Priority Sending, and How Does It Work?

Priority Sending is an AI-driven email distribution system that delivers emails based on customer engagement levels. Rather than sending messages in bulk to the entire subscriber list at once, this approach strategically releases emails in phases.

The system identifies the most engaged recipients first—those who frequently open, click, and interact with emails. These users receive the email first, helping establish positive engagement signals. This early engagement benefits the remaining recipients, as email service providers interpret it as a sign of high content relevance, improving inbox placement rates for the rest of the audience.

cmercury’s Priority Sending assigns engagement scores to each subscriber based on their historical interactions. Actions such as email opens, clicks, browsing activity, cart additions, and purchases contribute to these scores. The higher the engagement score, the earlier the recipient receives emails in a campaign.

This automated approach eliminates the need for manual segmentation while ensuring that engaged users receive communications at the right time.

How Priority Sending Increases Customer Engagement

Priority Sending improves customer engagement by focusing on users who are more likely to interact with emails, leading to better overall campaign performance.

• Sending emails to engaged users first improves deliverability rates. Since email service providers prioritize emails that generate high engagement, emails sent later in the campaign benefit from this initial positive signal, reducing the chances of messages being flagged as spam.
• By ensuring that highly engaged users receive communications first, businesses can increase open and click-through rates, leading to better conversion potential. When priority recipients engage with an email campaign, it boosts sender reputation, improving inbox placement for the entire email list.
• Unlike traditional segmentation methods, Priority Sending automates the process of targeting engaged users without requiring manual intervention. Instead of spending time on list segmentation, marketers can rely on the system’s AI-driven engagement scoring to optimize email distribution.

Strengthening Email Deliverability Through Priority Sending

Email deliverability is a major concern for businesses relying on email marketing. Messages landing in spam folders rather than inboxes can lead to lost revenue and diminished customer engagement. Priority Sending plays a key role in improving deliverability by ensuring that high-engagement recipients receive emails first.

When an email campaign is launched, recipients with the highest engagement scores receive emails before others. These users are more likely to open emails and take action quickly, signaling to email service providers that the content is relevant and trustworthy. As a result, the rest of the emails in the campaign are more likely to reach inboxes rather than spam folders.

A well-executed Priority Sending strategy enhances sender reputation, making it easier for future campaigns to achieve strong inbox placement rates. Over time, this leads to improved email performance across all campaigns, reinforcing the value of maintaining an engaged subscriber base.
