A marketing associate at Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) notices the number of hard bounces increased after the most recent send. Recently, NTO:
* Updated its Commercial Send Classification
* Incorporated a list of additional contacts gathered from an industry event into a sendable data extension
* Tested new subject lines in its email campaigns
What is causing the high bounce rate?
The increase in hard bounces experienced by Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) after incorporating a new list of contacts from an industry event is most likely due to some of the newly added contacts having invalid email addresses. Hard bounces typically occur when an email address is incorrect, nonexistent, or has been deactivated. When a list is newly integrated into a sendable data extension without thorough validation or cleaning, there's a higher likelihood that it contains email addresses that are no longer valid, leading to an increase in hard bounces.
It's essential for marketing teams to perform email address validation and list cleaning, especially when incorporating new lists from external sources like industry events, to maintain email deliverability and sender reputation.

Content tags in Salesforce Marketing Cloud are designed to categorize content by various criteria, such as marketing tactics, geography, and product lines. Enabling and using content tags allows users to apply descriptive labels to content within the Marketing Cloud, making it easier to organize, search, and report on content. This feature supports a more structured and accessible content management system, which is particularly useful for teams overseeing complex marketing strategies with diverse content needs across different segments and regions.

What should an associate use when importing data into a Marketing Cloud Engagement data extension?
When importing data into a Marketing Cloud Engagement data extension and the goal is to add new records while retaining existing records, the 'Add and update' option should be used. This import type adds new records to the data extension and updates existing records based on the primary key or unique identifier. This ensures that the data extension is kept up-to-date without losing any existing data, making it ideal for maintaining comprehensive and current customer data sets.
