List Hygiene

An original song by Inbox Senders Club
AlbumClick ThroughTrack 8

Segments built. Now the cutting begins. Hard bounces removed immediately. Soft bounces thresholded. Anyone inactive at 90 days gets one re-engagement email, then suppressed. A thousand clean beats fifty thousand dirty.

3:30
Duration
Verse 1
Hard bounce logged — that address is done
Remove it fast before it drags the run
Soft bounce hits three times in a row
At five consecutive — I let it go
Pre-Chorus
Smaller list, cleaner send
Every cut is money in the end—
Chorus
List hygiene
Cut the weight — the signal pushes through
List hygiene
The name that clicks — that's the one that's true
List hygiene
Verse 2
Ninety days no click — I run the query
Sunset window closing — no more mercy
Re-engagement mail goes out — one shot
No reply — that name is off the lot
Pre-Chorus
Smaller list, cleaner send
Every cut is money in the end—
Chorus
List hygiene
Cut the weight — the signal pushes through
List hygiene
The name that clicks — that's the one that's true
List hygiene
Bridge
I built this list to fifty thousand names
Dead names, bought names — pulling down the score
I let them go — I stepped back from the games
A thousand clean beats fifty thousand more
Chorus
List hygiene
Cut the weight — the signal pushes through
List hygiene
The name that clicks — that's the one that's true
List hygiene
Outro
Clean the list
Cut what didn't click
Clean the list
That's the practice — that's the trick
