What is involved in ESP migration?

Migrating an ESP is not a simple task. It involves so many factors depending on features used with current ESP as
well as possibilities with a new ESP chosen. Here is a list of items that needs to be worked upon.

  • (A) Database and Data Schema (including historical information)
  • (B) Suppression Lists (include unsubscribes, bounces, etc.)
  • (C) Data Cleansing: It might be a good opportunity to perform email list hygiene before uploading to new ESP
  • (A) Content Library (Images, links, etc.)
  • (B) Past Static Emails (HTML)
  • (C) Automated / Triggered Emails (HTML, automation rules, etc)
  • (D) Enhance your templates for responsiveness, cleaning old ESP tags/code, changing the images and other digital assets path, upgrade modules to dynamic code for easy edits
  • (A) Opt-in and Opt-out forms
  • (B) Document data feed and API integration details
  • (C) Create landing pages and map feeds on the new ESP. This requires defining the data fields, new email acquisition forms, and API integrations
  • (D) Update and test your subscription form to make sure new subscriptions are going into your new ESP
  • (A) Document existing rules/triggers on present ESP
  • (B) Set-up similar automation work-flow on new ESP
  • (A) Download from old ESP a standard and custom report for behavioral & historical data, and misc statistics. This might not be available later you close the account
  • (A) While you change ESP, IP address will change and so It is recommended to retain the same domain name with your new ESP
  • (B) Update DNS records including SPF records, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, email authentication methods if required
  • (C) Make changes on IP certification tool like Return Path if in use
  • (D) Setup Google Analytics
  • (E) Warming up the IP. Use a ramp-up strategy on new ESP by gradually increasing mailing volume campaign after campaign. Observe your deliverability rate and IP score, adjusting your strategy accordingly
  • (F) Update and test unsubscribe links

You must agree that this is a lot of work. Planned efforts will reduce the chances of mistakes.
We recommend preferring an email expert for this job, especially one familiar with both the ESPs.
