How do long-term engagement trends matter?
Long-term engagement trends matter more than individual campaign performance. Providers build sender profiles over months and years, tracking whether engagement is stable, improving, or declining.
Senders with consistently strong engagement over extended periods develop resilient reputation. A single bad campaign might cause temporary filtering, but the historical baseline provides a buffer.
Declining trends are particularly dangerous. Even if your metrics are still acceptable, a pattern of falling engagement signals that your audience is losing interest. Providers may preemptively increase filtering.
Long-term trends are like your multi-year shipping record. The harbor master gives more weight to captains who have delivered quality cargo for decades than to those with one good month.
