Reach more subscribers and increase revenue.

Certified senders see inbox rates that are 32.5 percentage points higher

This happens at top mailbox providers, compared to similar, non-Certified senders. How? Return Path Certification is the industry’s most powerful and unique whitelist, providing benefits at major mailbox providers and filtering companies to ensure your emails reach your subscribers.

More emails in the inbox means more opportunities for your customers to see your message, and ultimately drive increased ROI from the email channel. By not being Certified, marketers are leaving $135 billion on the table each year.
