SendGrid Stocking Stuffer: 2016 Email Delivery Blog Post Bundle
Kate Schmeisser
I was pumped to find out that I’d be able to write this stocking stuffer post because I get to talk about our incredible our Delivery Consulting Team! I’d introduce you to the team, but you probably already know them from all of the content they produce—Kurt, Luke, Jacob, Seth, Taylor, Corey, and we’re excited to welcome the latest addition to the team, Will!
Why This is a Gift
Aside from their very full days helping SendGrid’s clients tackle email obstacles and reach their goals, the Delivery Consulting Team also takes the time to share their deliverability expertise with us by assisting with guides, presenting on webcasts, and writing value-packed blog posts.
How to Use It
These blog posts are a treasure trove of knowledge, and the value extends far beyond just telling you how to get your email to the inbox (though that is a major focus). The team explains the best way to start and the most gracious way to end relationships with your recipients, major differences between marketing and transactional email, and more in the posts listed below! I split up their 2016 posts into three categories:

Now, we’re not saying you need to read ALL of these posts—between wrapping presents and icing cookies, who has time for that? But skim through your options and refresh your noggin on at least a few topics to end the year strong.
If you’re still looking for email delivery tips and tricks (impressive!), listen in to our recent webcast with the team, Delivery Panel Power Hour.
