If you  send out email broadcast messages as part of your marketing process you risk your messages not reaching the intended subscriber.
For those of us who rely on email marketing as a value-added process for subscribers we can be left extremely frustrated and wishing there was a solution. Actually, there is a solution. Whitelisting.
Without whitelisting there is a good chance your emails are not being delivered to those who requested your information by way of an opt in opportunity. 
If a spam filter keeps a whitelist, mail from the listed email addresses, domains, and/or IP address will always be allowed.
Despite your best efforts to make your campaigns as inbox-friendly as possible it seems open rates are going down at a steady pace. This is why whitelisting is so important.
In short, whitelisting improves deliverability. It also reduces the chance of your email getting unnecessarily flagged as junk in the inbox.
Unfortunately, many of your subscribers may not know to whitelist your email address so they can receive your messages uninterrupted.
It’s likely if someone subscribed they probably don’t want to miss an email from you. The solution? Ask them to whitelist your email address.
Here are steps you can send them for some of the most popular providers.  Feel free to send this blog post to anyone you know who will benefit from it.  http://www.powerupforprofits.com/2015/12/whitelisting.html
