Every marketing person needs an email verification tool, In which some marketers have a good budget, and some have a tight budget. But, they all are finding good accurate and affordable tools for <a href="https://myemailverifier.com/">bulk email verification</a>.

Since the last year, I have been using the email verifier tool for my small e-commerce business. They offer 1 million email credits just for 289$. It's the lower price in the industry.

Which tool are you using for email verification? Let me know in the comment section.

We have a few plain text fiends in the team and love Sublime Text for fast note taking and code search!

We use SendGrid for sending transactional emails to the users of our Chain SMS service. This includes emails like verifying your email address, welcome emails and password reset emails.

We recently switched from sending emails using an Microsoft Office 365 email account to using SendGrid. Here we've changed our approach from consuming a lower level capability (we used an SMTP interface to the Office 365 account) to consuming the higher level SendGrid service which we interact with using their C# client library.

We gradually rolled out the change to our user base and measured the % of users confirming their email address to estimate email delivery, we found SendGrid performed at least as well as an Office 365 account.

We found using more advanced email confirmation (SPF, DKIM, etc.) has made a significant improvement to delivery rate (increased the delivery rate by 10%).

We've also found that the email activity feature in SendGrid (which shows whether an email has been delivered, bounced etc) is particularly useful and has helped us learn more about how emails can go wrong (e.g. hard/soft bounce).

Intercom has been amazing for us. It's a brilliant way to easily add web chat to your website and make support articles. We now make use of their APIs and webhooks to extend the functionality to some of our particular needs. Everyone on the team does 3 hours of user support a month and find it really easy to get used to!

We've found Azure Storage really useful during the last few years. It's really cheap and pretty versatile too. We've used #table storage to help us out with a migration where we needed to store quite a bit of data, use the #queues for integrating with Azure Functions and helping us load balance our SMS sending and the #blob storage helps us host our client installer and keep up our weekly release train!
