For many of us email marketers, when we find our witty subject lines and email campaigns filed under the Gmail Promotions tab instead of the Primary inbox, we say something along the lines of &#8220;oh, fudge.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It all started a few years ago when Google, one of the main email service providers (ESPs), introduced new folders (also called tabs) to <b>make Gmail account inboxes a little less chaotic<\/b>. This is good because all too often important personal or business conversations get hidden in the clutter of coupons, shipping notifications, promotional emails, invoices, and social media updates. It\u2019s all stuff you want to catch up on, but you have to take care of your boss and\/or your mom first.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inbox tabs give Gmail users a way to organize their email clutter into folders where messages are categorized, keeping the most important messages in the Primary tab. <b>But is it possible to move our emails from Gmail Promotions to the Primary tab?<\/b> Let\u2019s break it down a little.<\/p>\n\r\n    <nav data-content-type=\"longform\" class=\"toc-block longform-spacings px-5 py-6 px-md-6 px-lg-7 py-md-7 bg-light fs-sm rounded-lg\" aria-labelledby=\"toc-title-4268\"><p class=\"h5 m-0\" id=\"toc-title-4268\">\u00cdndice<\/p><div class=\"d-flex mt-3\"><div class=\"w-auto fw-bold text-accent d-flex me-2\">01<\/div><div class=\"d-flex flex-column\"><a class=\"fw-bold scrollme link-body-color text-accent\" href=\"#what-is-the-purpose-of-the-gmail-promotions-folder\">What is the purpose of the Gmail Promotions folder?<\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"d-flex mt-3\"><div class=\"w-auto fw-bold text-accent d-flex me-2\">02<\/div><div class=\"d-flex flex-column\"><a class=\"fw-bold scrollme link-body-color text-accent\" href=\"#what-is-each-gmail-inbox-tab-used-for\">What is each Gmail inbox tab used for?<\/a><a class=\"scrollme link-body-color\" href=\"#primary-tab\">Primary tab<\/a><a class=\"scrollme link-body-color\" href=\"#social-tab\">Social\u202ftab<\/a><a class=\"scrollme link-body-color\" href=\"#promotions-tab\">Promotions\u202ftab<\/a><a class=\"scrollme link-body-color\" href=\"#updates-tab\">Updates tab<\/a><a class=\"scrollme link-body-color\" href=\"#forums-tab\">Forums\u202ftab<\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"d-flex mt-3\"><div class=\"w-auto fw-bold text-accent d-flex me-2\">03<\/div><div class=\"d-flex flex-column\"><a class=\"fw-bold scrollme link-body-color text-accent\" href=\"#does-landing-in-the-gmail-promotions-folder-harm-your-deliverability\">Does landing in the Gmail Promotions folder harm your deliverability?<\/a><a class=\"scrollme link-body-color\" href=\"#spam-vs-promotions-folders\">Spam vs promotions folders<\/a><a class=\"scrollme link-body-color\" href=\"#a-few-benefits-of-the-promotions-tab\">A few benefits of the promotions tab<\/a><a class=\"scrollme link-body-color\" href=\"#how-the-promotions-tab-can-harm-your-efforts\">How the promotions tab can harm your efforts<\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"d-flex mt-3\"><div class=\"w-auto fw-bold text-accent d-flex me-2\">04<\/div><div class=\"d-flex flex-column\"><a class=\"fw-bold scrollme link-body-color text-accent\" href=\"#how-can-i-avoid-gmails-promotion-tab\">How can I avoid Gmail\u2019s Promotion tab?<\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"d-flex mt-3\"><div class=\"w-auto fw-bold text-accent d-flex me-2\">05<\/div><div class=\"d-flex flex-column\"><a class=\"fw-bold scrollme link-body-color text-accent\" href=\"#how-can-i-get-my-email-campaigns-into-the-primary-tab\">How can I get my email campaigns into the Primary tab?<\/a><a class=\"scrollme link-body-color\" href=\"#anchor_1-use-double-opt-in\">1.

It all happens thanks to a proprietary Gmail algorithm that<b> identifies which category an incoming message belongs to and automatically assigns that message<\/b> to the appropriate category. Users who have tabs enabled will then see those messages collected under the corresponding tab.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is each Gmail inbox tab used for?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s a breakdown of the five inbox tabs and their intended uses:<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Primary tab<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Primary tab is intended for person-to-person conversations from the user\u2019s contacts or any other messages that don\u2019t fit into the intended use of the other tabs. This is generally where a user\u2019s <b>most important and necessary messages<\/b> end up, and pretty much all email marketers want their messages to land here.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Social\u202ftab<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Social tab is where a user will receive messages from<b> social networking sites\/apps such as Facebook, Tinder, LinkedIn<\/b>, etc. These messages will most often be notifications of new posts, comments, or reactions that are associated with the user\u2019s social media profiles.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Promotions\u202ftab<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any shopaholic\u202fwill find their coupons and discount codes, special welcome email offers, and other promotional messages in the Gmail Promotions tab. This is <b>where marketing campaigns tend to land<\/b> if they don\u2019t make it into the Primary tab.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Updates tab<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Updates tab contains what most would consider <b>transactional messages<\/b> such as shipping notifications, invoices\/receipts, order confirmations, etc. If you share Google documents, Google slides, or other collaborative projects with other people, the Updates tab will notify you when they\u2019ve made edits.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Forums\u202ftab<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll find all of your discussion forum, group, and mailing list notifications here. Messages and Google invitations sent to <b>large groups of employees, friends, and other organizations<\/b> will be found here.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does landing in the Gmail Promotions folder harm your deliverability?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The short answer is no.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gmail\u2019s Promotions tab is all fine and great for the recipients, but most senders would say they\u2019re not so fine and great. As a business, you want your message to get to the inbox. Well, the good news is that if you land in any of these tabs you <b>did actually make it to the inbox<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spam vs promotions folders<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The promotions tab is not the same as the spam folder, and in terms of email deliverability, any emails going to the promotions tab do not count as spam. So you can\u2019t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailgun.com\/pt\/blog\/deliverability\/como-remover-ip-e-dominio-da-lista-de-bloqueio-de-e-mail\/\" target=\"_tabs\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">get blocklisted<\/a> because your emails end up here.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spam is where emails go when they\u2019re suspected of being spam due to various factors, such as sender reputation, sending IP address, email code and formatting characteristics, past spam complaints, and other factors.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gmail\u2019s tabs are simply the inbox broken down into categories. So, before you start fretting about your emails ending up in the Gmail Promotions folder, take a minute to celebrate making it to the inbox.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A few benefits of the promotions tab<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And, there are some benefits to Gmail\u2019s tabs. For one, <a href=\"https:\/\/returnpath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Return_Path_-_The_Tabbed_Inbox.pdf\" target=\"_tabs\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ReturnPath<\/a> found that these tabs actually improved deliverability (messages making it to the inbox vs the spam\/junk\/bulk folder), increased open rates, and reduced the number of spam complaints.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since these emails are categorized, they\u2019re not fighting for space with different types of emails. So, when people are in the mood to shop and look for deals, they know to go directly to the Promotions tab. This means Gmail users are <b>more likely to open your message at a time when they\u2019re ready to engage with that type of message<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s also important to remember that not all of your Gmail users are using tabs.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailjet.com\/resources\/research\/email-engagement-2021\/\" target=\"_tabs\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> 47% of users have this feature disabled<\/a>. So, the Gmail Promotions situation may not be quite as widespread as you think it is.<\/p>\n    <div data-content-type=\"longform\" class=\"quote hub-quote longform-spacings d-flex flex-column rounded-lg px-5 py-6 px-md-6 py-md-7 p-lg-7 shadow-sm bg-primary\" data-theme=\"light\">\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"quote-logo mb-3\">\r\n                            <svg height=\"40\" class=\"quote-icon quote-icon-color\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.mailgun.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/sinch-core\/assets\/icons\/custom-icons\/quotes-right.svg\"><\/svg>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <blockquote class=\"quote-content content-body m-0 text-body-color\" id=\"quote-block-5f42a043966e60fb9a82e9bc75adfd29\">\r\n            &#8220;53.3% of people with Gmail accounts use the Gmail Tabs feature. Out of those, 79.7% check the Promotions tab at least once a week, and 51% do this daily.&#8221;        <\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n                    <div class=\"d-flex gap-3 mt-5\">\r\n                                <div class=\"d-flex flex-column align-self-center fs-sm\">\r\n                    <cite class=\"mb-0 fw-bold text-accent fst-normal\" aria-describedby=\"quote-block-5f42a043966e60fb9a82e9bc75adfd29\">\r\n                        The path to email engagement 2021                    <\/cite>\r\n                                    <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How the promotions tab can harm your efforts<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All that said, it\u2019s far preferable for emails to end up in the primary tab, because that gets higher engagement and more immediate attention. Less engagement and visibility means fewer sales, less loyalty and brand familiarity, and lower long-term profits.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And over time, low engagement can impact deliverability. Repeatedly landing in the promotions tab could eventually cause your emails to stop being delivered to some subscribers.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can I avoid Gmail\u2019s Promotion tab?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We know Gmail categorizes messages based on an algorithm, and we know that tabs aren\u2019t all that bad for senders. But if you\u2019re like every human ever, you\u2019re probably thinking, \u201chow can I beat the system?\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many \u201cexperts\u201d will tell you to imitate important emails by changing your formatting to plain text, use simple HTML templates, send from a personal email address, and avoid sending bulk emails. It is true that a combination of these methods could trick Google into prioritizing your emails into the Primary tab.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But even though it may sound tempting, gaming the system isn\u2019t a great idea. The more you make your email content and marketing emails look like personal messages, the more likely you are to get complaints about them and, eventually, <b>be consigned to the spam folder or unsubscribed<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, we do recommend improving your chances of getting your emails into the Primary tab.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can I get my email campaigns into the Primary tab?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to avoid the Promotions folder and get a premium spot in the Primary tab, there are several strategies you can employ.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s how to get your emails into Gmail\u2019s Primary tab:<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Use double opt-in<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start by\u202fonly sending to people who want your marketing campaigns\u202f(double opt-in for the win!). Anyone who completes this process really <i>does<\/i> want to hear from you, and they\u2019re more likely to look for and engage with your emails.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Double opt-in also reduces the chances of bad email addresses ending up on your list. If you\u2019re worried you already have a problem with this, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailgun.com\/pt\/blog\/deliverability\/por-que-a-verificacao-de-e-mail-e-vital-para-sua-caixa-de-entrada\/\" target=\"_tabs\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">see how to keep your email list clean<\/a> using email validation.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Ask subscribers to help<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Encourage your subscribers to add you to their contact list. In Google, you just hover over the sender\u2019s name and click the \u2018add to contacts\u2019 link.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might also link to an article that talks about list verification or why you use the double-opt in approach so they know this isn\u2019t a small matter. Include this request in your double opt-in email so they add you to their list right from the start.<\/p>\n    <div data-content-type=\"longform\"  class=\"callout text-body-color px-5 py-6 px-md-6 px-lg-7 py-md-7 longform-spacings rounded-lg bg-light\" data-theme=\"light\">\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"content-body\"> <b>Pro tip:<\/b> Include directions and screenshots, or even a video, for how subscribers can add you to their contact list.<\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Send high-quality content<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Send out useful email content that delivers value, solves problems, answers questions, meets needs, and makes the subscriber feel informed and valued. Your email content should relate to why the subscriber joined your email list.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Personalize it<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The more personalized you make your emails, the more your subscribers will want to keep hearing from you. Make them relevant. Call attention to past engagement. Send relevant offers and opportunities consistent with their interests. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailgun.com\/pt\/blog\/email\/usando-dados-criar-melhores-campanhas-e-mail-acionadas\/\" target=\"_tabs\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Here are five super-practical tips for sending personalized emails<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Ask subscribers to move your emails<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you\u2019ve earned their trust, ask subscribers (as a friend) to <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/mail\/answer\/3094499?hl=en\" target=\"_tabs\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">move future emails from the Gmail Promotions tab to the Primary folder<\/a>. If people are super excited to read your emails, they might just move them themselves. You can also include this in your welcome emails. Let new subscribers know to check their promotions tab for your emails, and then ask them to consider moving them.<\/p>\n    <div data-content-type=\"longform\"  class=\"callout text-body-color px-5 py-6 px-md-6 px-lg-7 py-md-7 longform-spacings rounded-lg bg-light\" data-theme=\"light\">\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"content-body\"> <b>Pro tip: <\/b>On your post-signup page, tell new subscribers to check their Gmail promotions tab for your welcome email, and move it to primary. They can do this by just clicking and dragging.<\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Send emails in smaller batches<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">List segmentation (a type of personalization) allows you to reduce the number of emails you send out with each campaign. Your segments can be based on product categories, past engagement or lack thereof, purchase history, demographics, occupation, and many other factors. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailgun.com\/pt\/blog\/email\/segmentacao-de-lista-de-e-mails\/\" target=\"_tabs\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">See best practices for email list segmentation.<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reducing the volume of emails you send out will increase the chances of Google shifting you over to the primary tab. You may even want to send out individual emails now and then to increase these chances even more.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And yes, it\u2019s better to send emails from an email address with a name on it, rather than &#8216;info\u2019 or \u2018admin.\u2019<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Use light HTML and plain text<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over-designed emails look more like promotions, increasing the chances of Google sending them to that tab. But emails with less HTML and mostly text look more like normal messages. If the best path to engagement is through the primary tab, consider making your emails look less like promotions, in the eyes of a computer algorithm. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailgun.com\/pt\/blog\/email\/transactional-html-email-templates\/\" target=\"_tabs\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Get tips for designing HTML for transactional emails<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Use the same email address for sending and replying<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the reply-to email address differs from the sending address, it\u2019s like a big flashing light telling Google this is not a personal email message. Don\u2019t use no-reply addresses for your marketing emails and, ideally, make the reply-to the same as the sending address.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Give in and optimize for the promotions tab<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s another option for dealing with Gmail\u2019s promotion folder: Accept it and try to optimize for it. Google released a <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/gmail\/promotab\" target=\"_tabs\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">support doc for developers<\/a> showing you how to annotate emails so readers will see your offers, coupon codes, and key information even without opening the emails.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No matter what you do, <b>your subscribers ultimately have the final say<\/b> over which tab your email messages go to.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can Mailgun get me into Gmail\u2019s primary inbox tab?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first thing to find out is where your emails are actually going. Then, learn how to use the promotions tab to your advantage to stand out. Here are some tips for using Mailgun to help:<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Inbox Placement<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Landing where you want in the inbox can be tricky.

Easy, right?<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But what if you discover your emails aren\u2019t even making it to the inbox?<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use our email Deliverability Service<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re not ending up in the inbox at all, <a href=\"\/products\/inbox\/deliverability-services\/\" target=\"_tabs\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">our Deliverability Service<\/a> provides a dedicated account manager who proactively monitors your account for delivery issues, IP reputation management, throttling, blocklists, etc. And they\u2019ll work together with you to develop a bespoke game plan and best sending solution.\u202fLearn more about it and <a href=\"\/products\/inbox\/deliverability-services\/\" target=\"_tabs\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">talk to one of our email experts here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Remember the purpose of the Gmail Promotions folder<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Gmail Promotions tab (and other folders) aren\u2019t meant to be obstacles for your email program. They\u2019re meant to help the recipient organize messages.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means you can use the existence of these tabs to your advantage. Don\u2019t try to beat the system \u2013 instead, engage your subscribers with quality content for optimal deliverability, and let them know that they can move your messages into the Primary tab with just a few clicks.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inbox placement depends, first and foremost, on <b>engaged subscribers and consistent messaging<\/b>. If you keep this in mind and cultivate strong relationships with your subscribers, you will have no trouble keeping your messages in the Primary tab. And to us, that\u2019s worth a major award or two.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final thoughts<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Gmail Promotions folder wasn\u2019t designed to make it harder on email marketers. It was designed to help subscribers stay more organized and feel less overwhelmed.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you know, in advance, that your emails will likely end up in the promotions tab, mention it to new and existing subscribers.
