At Amplemarket, our primary goal is to ensure that your emails are not only delivered but also opened. One key factor in achieving high deliverability rates is avoiding attachments in your email sequences. Here’s why:
How to Share Documents Safely and Effectively
While we don't support adding attachments to your sequences, there are better ways to share documents that maintain high deliverability and enhance the user experience.
Using Google Drive Links
If you use Gmail, you can leverage the seamless integration with Google Drive:
-
High Trust Links: Google Drive links are considered high trust by email providers, meaning they don’t negatively impact your deliverability rates.
-
Automatic Virus Scanning: Google Drive automatically scans all documents for viruses, ensuring that your recipients are protected and more likely to engage with your content.
-
No Click Required: When you share a Google Drive link in Gmail, the document is automatically previewed in the body of the email. This eliminates the need for your recipient to click a link, reducing friction and increasing the likelihood of engagement.
-
Versatility: Google Drive supports a wide range of file types, including PDFs, documents, presentations, and more. No matter what you need to share, Google Drive has you covered.
Using OneDrive Links
For those who use Microsoft Outlook, OneDrive offers similar benefits:
-
High Trust Links: OneDrive links are recognized as secure by email providers, meaning they won’t harm your email’s deliverability. They are often considered as trustworthy as Google Drive links.
-
Security and Compliance: OneDrive provides advanced security features, including encryption and virus scanning, to ensure that your files are safe and compliant with data protection regulations.
-
Integrated Previews: Similar to Google Drive, OneDrive links allow recipients to preview documents directly within the email. This makes it easier for your audience to access the content without needing to download anything.
-
Broad File Support: OneDrive supports various file types, such as Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, PDFs, and more, giving you flexibility in what you can share.
The Benefits of Using Cloud Storage Links
In summary, using Google Drive or OneDrive links instead of attachments offers several key advantages:
- Easy Preview: Recipients can view the document directly within the email, making it more convenient and user-friendly.
- Wide File Support: Both Google Drive and OneDrive support a variety of file types, allowing you to share anything from PDFs to presentations effortlessly.
- Security: Files are automatically scanned for viruses, giving both you and your recipients peace of mind.
- No Negative Impact on Deliverability: Unlike attachments, cloud storage links don’t harm your email’s deliverability, ensuring your message gets through.
- Cost-Effective: Both Google Drive and OneDrive are included with most Gmail and Outlook accounts, making them accessible without additional costs.
By choosing cloud storage links over traditional attachments, you can maintain high deliverability rates, enhance the recipient experience, and ensure the security of your shared documents—all at no additional cost.
