Deliverability problems rarely start with your content. They start with your audience. When you send to contacts who are no longer ready to receive, you create reputation risk that compounds over time and affects your entire program.
4Thought Marketing is hosting Oracle Senior Principal Technical Analyst Bob Sivarajah (Jeeves) for a special Eloqua Office Hours session. Bob will walk through a structured audience strategy framework that replaces volume-based sending with readiness-based decision making. You will see how to classify contacts into engagement tiers, recognize the early signs of fatigue, handle cold and unengaged contacts appropriately, and build Eloqua canvas flows that reflect each group’s actual readiness to receive.
The framework covers strategy, execution, and mitigation, including what to do when deliverability signals shift and how to troubleshoot common issues like Microsoft throttling, Gmail spam filtering, and soft bounce patterns.
What Bob will cover:
- Defining engagement tiers and applying them in Eloqua
- Fatigue scoring, holdback lists, and rest program logic
- Sequencing sends based on the audience state to protect inbox placement
- A troubleshooting reference for the most common deliverability scenarios
- The core principle: send based on readiness, not eligibility
Perfect for:
- Eloqua administrators and marketing operations managers
- Anyone responsible for email deliverability and campaign execution
