About this survey
During July of 2024, Sinch Mailgun conducted a global survey of email senders. Respondents included Sinch Mailgun users as well as users from sister brands Sinch Mailjet and Sinch Email on Acid. The survey collected data and insights concerning the email deliverability knowledge and practices of senders around the world.
More than 1,100 participants completed the survey. Respondents were invited to participate via email messages and in-app notifications. They were also incentivized by the chance to win a $100 Amazon gift card, which was awarded to one random participant.
