Every hotel is finalizing Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers right now. Rates are set. Segments are built. Subject lines are drafted.
None of that matters if the email never reaches the inbox. Deliverability decides whether that campaign drives direct bookings or quietly dies in a spam folder while your team wonders why conversions are flat. And with Gmail, Yahoo, and other major providers tightening enforcement every year, the margin for error keeps shrinking.
This is your last-minute checklist, built around the reasoning behind each item so your team knows what to fix now and what to watch once campaigns go live.
Your Black Friday rates are set, your offers are approved, and your campaigns are taking shape. Before you hit send, make sure the details behind delivery are ready too.
A compelling offer can drive direct bookings, but only if guests see it. Sender reputation, audience engagement, authentication, and send volume can all affect whether your campaign reaches the inbox during one of the busiest promotional periods of the year.
Your Black Friday offer is ready. Is your inbox placement? is a practical guide to checking the essentials before launch, with clear advice on what to review now and what to monitor once your campaigns go live.
Inside the guide, you’ll learn how to:
Check sender reputation and email authentication before your first send
Clean your lists and prioritize your most engaged audiences
Match offers to guest interests using the data in your CRM
Review send volume and campaign timing to avoid sudden spikes
Sharpen subject lines and preview text for crowded inboxes
Track engagement and attributed revenue beyond delivery rates
You’ve put the work into your Black Friday offer. Give it the best chance of reaching the guests it was built for.
