Summary

The quest to curtail email littering is a pressing issue in the world of product development, where every message sent must add value to an experience. To reduce email litter, developers should question every email they send by asking themselves if the recipient expects it and would thank them for sending it. Giving customers control over their notifications can also help minimize clutter, with options ranging from simple checkboxes to more nuanced contextual information. Being judicious with opt-in requests is crucial, as users may not find certain emails valuable or relevant to their workflow. Finally, batching send notifications when possible and considering the context in which they are sent can further improve email engagement and sending reputation. By implementing these strategies, developers can make a significant impact on reducing email litter and improving customer experience.
