Challenge
HeroFX struggled with email deliverability and engagement. Their emails frequently landed in spam due to a lack of authentication and a proper warm-up process. With open rates stuck at 5% and no audience segmentation, their campaigns failed to generate meaningful engagement. Without a structured sender reputation strategy, scaling outreach became nearly impossible.
Results
After implementing SendX, HeroFX transformed its email marketing approach. They saw a 98% email deliverability rate, more than doubled their open rates, and achieved a 28% click-through rate. By fixing their deliverability issues, optimizing audience segmentation, and automating their campaigns, they built a scalable and highly effective email marketing strategy.

The challenge: The pitfalls of relying on outdated email marketing solutions
Before partnering with SendX, HeroFX struggled to execute a structured email marketing strategy. They relied on CRM tools and makeshift SMTP services to send transactional emails, but these solutions weren’t designed for scaling promotional campaigns. Without a dedicated email marketing platform, they faced several challenges:
-
No audience segmentation: Bulk emails were sent to all users, resulting in low engagement.
-
Poor deliverability: Emails weren’t properly authenticated, causing them to land in spam.
-
No warm-up process: This led to a damaged sender reputation.
-
A disorganized email list: The list was cluttered with inactive and invalid email addresses, affecting deliverability.
-
No scalable solution: The tools they were using couldn't handle high-volume campaigns, limiting their growth.
Without the right infrastructure and strategy, their outreach efforts remained inefficient, and their emails failed to reach potential customers.

HeroFX evaluated multiple solutions before choosing SendX. With the SendX Plus Program, they gained access to a dedicated account manager and a deliverability specialist who worked closely with their team to fine-tune campaigns and resolve deliverability issues.
