1. Inbox Algorithms in 2025: Engagement First

ISPs like Gmail and Outlook now rely on real‑time engagement scoring. They measure opens, clicks, and replies within the first 48 hours and dynamically adjust inbox placement.

Key Tips

• Send to micro‑segmented lists of fewer than 200 contacts for hyper‑relevance.
• Personalize subject lines with OmniSender’s Email Brief fields (Prospect Name, Company, Trigger Context).
• Monitor opens and replies; then trim non‑engagers after 60 days.

2. AI‑Powered Personalization with OmniSender

OmniSender gives you an Email Brief panel where you fill in:

• Prospect Name & Company
• Industry/Role & Trigger Context
• Pain Point / Challenge & Your Solution
• Proof / Results & Desired Next Step

Click Generate Cold Email with OmniSender and the GPT‑4.1 fine‑tuned model returns a perfectly tailored email in seconds. Use the built‑in buttons to Copy, Download, Send, Regenerate, or Clear the draft. Everything stays local to your browser, and a History panel lets you revisit past emails.

3. Deliverability Best Practices for 2025

3.1. Domain & IP Warm‑Up

• Begin at 20 emails/day, doubling every three days until you hit your target volume.
• Authenticate with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC; enable BIMI for brand visibility.

3.2. Engagement Hygiene

• Remove inactive leads after 60 days of zero engagement.
• Use OmniSender’s Regenerate feature to A/B test subject lines for higher opens.

4. Compliance in 2025: GDPR, CCPA & the US Federal Email Privacy Act

Fines can reach $50,000 per violation. OmniSender helps you stay compliant by:

• Inserting clear sender identification in every draft
• Adding one‑click unsubscribe language
• Keeping data local—no prospect data is stored on external servers
