The foremost questions that strike in the mind for not getting the response from the customers are:

The list of questions is endless to ask yourself when the email campaign doesn’t run. The first step to check is, whether the email reaches the public. If the answer is yes, then where does the email falls, either in inbox or spam.

Inbox Placement= Inbox placement/Total Email Sent
Email Sent: Inbox placement + Email blocked + Email filtered to junk or spam folder
