Do you wake up each morning and reach for your smartphone to see how many emails you can instantly delete without reading before starting your day? You are not alone. These are just the emails that make it to your inbox, what about the ones that get caught in the dreaded spam folder. A company called Return Path claims to be the expert in deliverability and is helping businesses get more eyeballs on their emails.

Every day, our customers trust our data and insights to help them optimize their email marketing. Partnered with best-in-class email service providers, we help marketers take their email programs to the next level by driving more response and increasing revenue.
