Have you ever heard the term “seed list” used? Well… we’ve been using this term a lot over here at Campaign Nucleus & we are excited to introduce seed list usability as one of our newest in-platform features.

So, firstly, what is a seed list? This is a list of emails that you have internal access to in order to be on the receiving end of your email sends.

Our email team has found that generally seed lists are not a great representation of inbox placement – this is because, after a few sends, the inbox will start to replicate personalized behavior rather than that of other inboxes with the same server. With that in mind, our team has found a lot of value in using email lists comprised of internal team members to help kickstart our email engagement with new or struggling domains/IPs.

Team members can be instructed to positively engage with these emails. In doing so, we can begin building up a good domain reputation from the very first day of sending so that we are able to find more success with deliverability and inbox placement.

Taking your unsubscribe to the next level

By Julia, Deliverability Expert

At Campaign Nucleus, we make it a point to never force industry-recommendations on to you while creating and sending your emails. We previously discussed the legal importance of including an unsubscribe link in every email we send. Since then, we have improved our system and now offer an optional one-click unsubscribe feature that you may choose to implement.

I’m sure you are wondering: What is the difference between this feature and the unsubscribe link we already use?

Well… currently, when a recipient clicks the unsubscribe link, they are redirected to a page where they may enter their email and they will be immediately unsubscribed. In the case of a one-click unsubscribe, a user may click the link and will be immediately unsubscribed without being redirected to another page to do so.

While this is not an industry standard or policy, it is highly recommended. This is dominantly because it is a simpler route of unsubscribing which ensures people who intended to be unsubscribed do so properly. In some cases of a double-opted unsubscribe link, some users may accidentally remain subscribed, and this can lead to an increase in user complaints which can affect your domain and IP reputation.

Seamless setup. Clear guidance. Faster time to launch.

Through the years, we’ve made plenty of improvements and updates to our batching system & with that, I think it’s time for a little review session…

First, we’ll review how to set-up a batch. Then, we are going to review our Nucleus-recommended scaling technique. And lastly, we’ll put your skills to work and run through some examples. Let’s begin!

Set-Up

At the top, we have our selections concerning ‘batch size.’ While I do occasionally see a reason to utilize the ‘percentage’ or ‘remainder’ function (hence its existence), I find that the ‘fixed’ batch size is easiest to manage when warming a new domain, so I recommend taking that route. Below your selection, you can identify the exact volume of recipients you’d like to send to.

Your ’schedule’ is used to determine how each individual batch will be initiated. I generally base this decision off personal comfort and need.

Manual entails the individual sending of each campaign by a user following the campaign launch.

Start means the batches will begin with the start of the campaign – this is likely the easiest option for users.

Delayed would allow you to set times for the batches to be released following the launch of the campaign.

In our ‘reoccurring’ section, you can implement a reoccurrence of batches. I generally do not recommend using the ‘repeat’ selection while warming a new domain/IP as this can affect our reputation, but when it is utilized, I recommend not exceeding more than one send in a 24-hour period.

In order for the batch to send, you will have to set your ‘Status’ to ‘ready’ as it is automatically placed in ‘draft.’

Finally, you can select the email servers that you’d like to include or exclude from your batch. I find that it is easiest to have an individual batch for every server; this allows you to monitor deliverability in the most efficient manner possible.

Final Thought

Tech shouldn’t just be for big players. At Campaign Nucleus, we believe the tools to change minds and move people should be accessible, affordable, and easy to use.

If you’re a small team with a big mission, we’ve got your back.

As Election Day approaches, every moment counts, and staying connected with your supporters is more critical than ever. Are you using Nucleus Text or P2P Messaging to ensure that instant, personalized communication drives your campaign forward?

Imagine this: It's the night before the election, and you're able to instantly rally your base with a targeted message reminding them to vote. With Nucleus, that's not just possible—it's easy. Our Nucleus Text feature lets you send out quick, personalized updates, ensuring your supporters know where to go, what to bring, and why their vote matters.

For a more personal touch, our P2P Messaging tool allows you to engage in one-on-one conversations at scale. Think about the impact of a direct message from a volunteer, asking a voter if they need help getting to the polls or answering any last-minute questions. This kind of outreach can be the difference between a vote cast or a vote missed!

Beyond Election Day…

But it doesn't stop there. Nucleus messaging integrates seamlessly with your broader campaign efforts. If you're hosting a last-minute rally, use our messaging tools to send out an invite, then track who opens the message and who clicks to RSVP. Need to share crucial updates from the campaign trail? A quick text or P2P message ensures your supporters are always in the loop, no matter where they are.

And as your messages go out, you'll have real-time analytics at your fingertips. See how many people received your message, who engaged, and who might need a follow-up—all in one place, without missing a beat.

As you gear up for the final push, make sure you're equipped with the tools that can make the difference. Log in to your Nucleus account today and start using our messaging features, or reach out to our team for more personalized guidance.

Why Messaging?

Well, besides the fact that everyone has a phone attached to them these days, texts also benefit that other messaging like emails can't give you. Some advantages include:

Higher Open Rates: Text messages generally have much higher open rates compared to emails. Many people read texts almost immediately after receiving them.

Immediate Delivery: SMS messages are delivered instantly, making them ideal for time-sensitive information or urgent updates.

Personalization: Texts can feel more personal and direct, which can enhance engagement and make your messages feel more immediate and relevant.

Conciseness: Text messages force you to be brief and to the point, which can be effective for quick, clear communication.

Better Reach: Text messages can reach people who may not check their email frequently or who have limited internet access but always carry their phones.

Higher Engagement: Due to the personal nature of text messaging, recipients are more likely to respond or take action quickly.

No Spam Filters: Text messages don't get caught in spam filters like emails can, ensuring your message gets through.

Convenience: For quick updates or reminders, texts can be more convenient and accessible than email, especially on the go.

However, it's important to note that text campaigns also have limitations, such as character limits and potential costs per message. Balancing text and email campaigns can often be the best approach, leveraging each of their strengths.

Try these text campaign ideas!

• Voter Reminders

Send out last-minute reminders to your supporters about important voting deadlines, like early voting dates or Election Day itself. Include personalized information, such as polling locations or voting hours, based on their registered address.

• Event Invitations

Quickly notify your supporters about campaign events, rallies, or virtual town halls. Include a link to RSVP directly within the text, and follow up with a reminder on the day of the event.

• Get-Out-The-Vote (GOTV) Campaigns

Launch a text campaign to encourage voter turnout. Send personalized messages asking if they need a ride to the polls, reminding them to bring the necessary ID, or simply urging them to get out and vote.

• Fundraising Appeals

Use text messaging to send urgent fundraising appeals. A quick, compelling message with a direct link to donate can significantly boost contributions, especially during crucial campaign moments.

• Poll Watcher Coordination

Coordinate your poll watchers or volunteers with real-time updates and instructions. This is especially useful on Election Day, where rapid communication is essential.

• Issue Awareness

Educate your supporters on key issues and your stance on them. Short, informative texts can help clarify your position and mobilize your base on important topics.

• Thank You Messages

After an event, donation, or volunteer effort, send a quick thank-you text to show appreciation. Personalized gratitude can strengthen supporter loyalty and encourage future engagement.

• Surveys and Feedback

Engage your audience by sending out quick surveys or asking for feedback via text. Use this data to fine-tune your campaign strategy or understand voter concerns better.

• Crisis Communication

If there's an unexpected change in the campaign (like a venue change or emergency), a text message is the fastest way to reach your audience and keep them informed.

• Election Results Updates

Keep your supporters in the loop on Election Night with live updates as results come in. Share the excitement and keep them engaged as the outcome unfolds.

So what are you waiting for?

Now is the perfect time to send those texts and get your supporters more engaged than ever!

HTML, everyone’s favorite universal language

By Julia, Deliverability Expert

The absolute coolest thing, among many other impressive things, about HTML coding is that it is almost a completely universal language. This means it can be understood by anyone who comprehends the code, regardless of its origins.

In short, the coding will be compatible with any content platform, no matter where it comes from. And, yes, that does mean you can use any other HTML-coded documents from past-used systems in the Nucleus platform.

There is one catch, though… Many email marketing platforms find value in the use of variables to pull custom information within the HTML as it helps to reach people on a more individual level… without having to manually send thousands of customized emails. Examples of this custom data would be a recipient’s first name or email, and other bits of personal information.

In these cases, the variable codes may differ slightly between platforms. That simply means that it is important to find and replace any variables with the proper ones so they function properly.

For instance, on Nucleus, we use the following variables very frequently:

PROTIP: you can actually find these located at the bottom of our html-coding-email-builder function:

These are very incredible tools as they can be crucial to your marketing technique but it is important to always remember to use the codes that are compatible with your platform.

This prevents us from sending wonky subject lines like “Hello, %%FIRSTNAME%%!”

These variables are usually very similar to the ones you are using, so just locate and replace any that you found. Most platforms, like our own Nucleus, will not even let you send when there is an error in the variables or coding so hopefully you will not encounter this issue anytime soon…

For example, just for the first name variable, I’ve seen some of the following variable codes:

• %recipient.first%
• %%FIRSTNAME%%
• %NAME%
• {{RECIPIENT.FIRST}}

…and there are way more than that! Always be on the lookout!

In today's fast-paced and information-driven world, effective communication is the core of any successful campaign. Whether you're running a political campaign or advocating for a cause, your ability to connect with your audience on a deeper level can make all the difference. That's where Campaign Nucleus Communications comes in, offering a comprehensive department and advanced toolset designed to empower your messaging strategy and elevate your campaign to new heights.

One of the most popular and valuable features of the Nucleus platform is its landing pages. Our landing page builder is designed for ease of use and exceptional versatility. In online marketing, landing pages are essential for turning visitors into leads, customers, subscribers, donors, and more. However, different landing pages serve different purposes, and to meet various objectives, you can create a range of landing pages. In this blog post, we'll delve into the most common types of landing pages and how to use them effectively.

Lead Capture Landing Page

These pages are designed to collect contact information from visitors who arrive after clicking on a specific link. The main purpose of a lead capture page is to transform potential customers into leads by offering them something of value in exchange for their contact details. By opting into your email list, these leads can be nurtured with valuable content and targeted resources over time until they are ready to make a purchase. As an email marketer, lead capture pages play a pivotal role in your overall strategy, serving as a foundational element of your email marketing efforts.

Tips for creating:

• Clear Call to Action: Use a strong and clear call to action that encourages visitors to follow through with the form.
• Remove Distractions: Keep the page simple, focusing on the form and the offer, making it as easy as possible to sign up.

"Get Started” Landing Page

After a visitor finds your click-through landing page appealing and expresses interest in your product, service, or mission, the next step is to guide them to a "Get Started" landing page. This page is designed to move the visitor closer to conversion by encouraging them to take action.
The 'Get Started' landing page content should feature a clear and compelling call-to-action (CTA) such as 'Sign Up Now,' ' or 'Create Account.' It's important to emphasize that the CTA should be prominently displayed and easily located, ensuring the visitor's next steps and making the process feel guided and not overwhelming.

For example: If your candidate or organization has a landing page on your website or a link to one in an email that says if they sign up or subscribe to something, then they will get a 10% off code for your merchandise store.

“Unsubscribe” Landing Page

The 'Unsubscribe' landing page, often overlooked but crucial, is one of the most frequently used and significant landing pages for anyone sending emails or messages to contacts. This page, though seemingly insignificant, is your key to maintaining compliance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and international spam laws. Neglecting it could lead to severe consequences, potentially jeopardizing your business's reputation and legal standing, so ensure it's prominently displayed. Your unsubscribe link should be easy to spot—think neon signs and bright arrows (okay, maybe not that flashy, but you get the point). Keep it clear so your recipients can opt out of future messages without a hitch. These helpful landing pages are usually found in the footers of marketing emails and in the opening or closing notes of texts.

Event registration landing page

The last landing page we will explore today is an event landing page. Event landing pages can hold a lot of information and functions. Think of it like a digital poster or flyer you’d see for events; it needs to be eye-catching while also displaying brief essential information for the event. Whether it is for a webinar series, speaking at a conference, a charity dinner, or a rally, you'll need to inform people about the event and give them the opportunity to join. This is where an event landing page is put to use!

Tips:

- Ensure your headline grabs a visitor’s attention and clearly states the event's name and purpose.

- Brief description of what attendees can expect and the benefits from joining.

- Essential details such as the event's date, time, and location, as well as any special features or speakers to build anticipation and excitement.

“About Us” Landing Page

Yep, it is exactly what it sounds like! This type of landing page is one of the best ways to connect with your visitors on a personal level and win their trust by sharing your brand's or candidate's story/mission! You can share your origins, motivations, goals, and more, giving potential supporters a real sense of who you are. Sharing your goals and journey helps them understand you or your organization more deeply. Higher trust leads to better engagement and support towards your mission.

Stay tuned for more landing page knowledge!

#1 in politics.
Campaign Nucleus has been the choice for presidential campaigns, national parties, and numerous political organizations over the last three presidential cycles, cementing its status as the cornerstone platform for strategic campaign operations. From streamlining voter outreach to optimizing campaign strategies, Campaign Nucleus has enabled our clients to achieve remarkable results.

Building highly targeted audience universes has traditionally required complex segmentation logic, layered filters, and technical expertise. For many organizations, creating the right audience meant spending hours manually configuring demographic criteria, engagement history, geographic data, and behavioral filters — often across massive datasets.

The new Nucleus AI Universe Builder changes that entirely.

Designed to simplify advanced audience creation, the AI Universe Builder allows users to create sophisticated targeting universes simply by describing the audience they want in plain English. Instead of navigating complicated filtering systems or writing advanced logic, users can now build powerful audience segments through natural conversation.

Build Audiences Using Natural Language

At the core of the AI Universe Builder is a conversational AI-powered interface that translates everyday requests into advanced targeting logic automatically.

Users can type prompts such as:

• High reliability voters age 56+
• Boomers based in the Northeast
• Inactive donors who attended an event last year
• Subscribers in key counties who engaged with recent emails

Behind the scenes, Nucleus converts these requests into structured segmentation rules, audience filters, and targeting logic in real time.

This means teams no longer need to understand SQL queries, complicated demographic structures, or deeply nested filter systems to build advanced audiences.

Faster Workflows, Smarter Segmentation

The AI Universe Builder was designed to help organizations move faster without sacrificing precision.

Key capabilities include:

• Conversational AI-powered universe creation
• Real-time filter generation and audience previews
• Automated demographic and voter targeting logic
• Guided prompts and smart suggestions
• Faster audience creation workflows
• Accessible advanced targeting for non-technical users
• Smarter segmentation across large datasets and CRM records

By reducing manual setup time and simplifying the segmentation process, teams can focus more on strategy, outreach, and activation rather than operational complexity.

Built for Campaigns, Advocacy, and Nonprofit Teams

For political campaigns, advocacy organizations, nonprofits, and membership-driven teams, audience targeting is critical — but often time-consuming.

The AI Universe Builder enables organizations to identify and activate highly specific audiences in seconds instead of spending hours manually configuring filters and targeting logic.

Whether teams are trying to re-engage inactive supporters, identify key voter groups, or build segmented outreach campaigns, the tool makes advanced targeting significantly more accessible across the organization.

Making Advanced Data Operations More Accessible

The launch of the AI Universe Builder represents another major step forward in Nucleus’ mission to make advanced data operations more intelligent, accessible, and actionable.

By combining AI-driven conversation with sophisticated backend targeting logic, organizations can now unlock enterprise-level segmentation capabilities without requiring deep technical expertise.

Building highly targeted audiences has traditionally required complicated filters, layered segmentation rules, and technical expertise that can slow down campaign execution and audience management.

The new Nucleus AI Segment Builder changes that completely.

Designed to simplify audience creation, the AI Segment Builder allows organizations to create powerful CRM and email segments using simple natural language prompts instead of manual rule building and advanced filter logic.

Instead of spending time navigating complex targeting systems, users can simply describe the audience they want to reach — and Nucleus automatically generates the segmentation logic behind the scenes.

Create Audiences Using Natural Language

The AI Segment Builder makes advanced audience targeting dramatically easier by allowing teams to build segments conversationally.

Users can create audiences using prompts such as:

• “Donors in Florida who opened our last 3 emails”
• “Volunteers who attended an event in the last 12 months”
• “Inactive subscribers in key swing counties”

Nucleus instantly converts these requests into advanced segmentation logic, eliminating the need for manual filter building or technical setup.

Built Directly Into CRM and Email Workflows

Built directly into both the CRM and Amplify Email tools, the AI Segment Builder helps organizations create more targeted audiences faster while improving workflow efficiency across teams.

By integrating segmentation directly into existing campaign and communication workflows, organizations can move from audience creation to outreach much more quickly.

Key Capabilities

The AI Segment Builder includes a wide range of intelligent audience targeting features, including:

• Natural language audience creation

In today’s blog, I would like to speak to the importance and value of collecting data from subscribers to improve overall recipient engagement.

The Campaign Nucleus platform offers many features that help you to collect and assign unique data to individual recipients & provides a variety of useful ways to utilize this information.

By locating specific details on recipients, you are able to:

1. Personalize emails to recipients
2. Effectively reach recipient interests

With regards to personalization, this data allows us to address the user in a more customized way to better grasp user attention.

In reference to utilizing specific interests, this data allows us to direct our emails to the most engaged audience possible.

***

The easiest way to collect data from recipients is to combine the usage of Landing Pages & Amplify.

Landing Pages can be created to supply recipients with forms; the data pulled from these forms is then appended to each email profile. We utilize Amplify to send this landing page around in the most efficient manner to whichever recipient list we find appropriate.

Landing Pages offer many options that pull basic recipient information; this would be consistent with data along the lines of recipient name, age, gender, geographic location, and similar details.

In addition, by using our tagging feature in combination with our landing pages & emails, we are able to track specific user engagement and tag the content and interests that they are engaging most positively with.

Series Edition: Section 2 - Authentication Protocols “Your Emails' Identity Crisis”

Your Emails Need an ID Card

SPF, DKIM, DMARC Explained (Without the Jargon)

Here’s an example: You write the ideal email. It has everything. You have a good copy and good design. You send it to 50,000 recipients. Gmail blocks your email.

Why?

Because you didn’t verify your identity.

This is called authentication, and you must do it.

The Trust Problem

These days, ISPs (Internet Service Providers: Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, et al.) do not trust anything by default. The first thing they want to ask about an incoming email is whether it is legitimate and whether it really came from whoever the sender claims to be.

And why do they do that? Because spammers are sneaky. They use fake domain names, masquerade as your bank, clone organizations, and send you emails which are supposedly sent "from: [email protected]," whereas they were sent from some shady server located in Russia.

To establish authenticity, ISPs designed a special mechanism that we refer to as an email's ID card and authentication protocols!

But here's how things are different: In February 2024, just two years ago, Gmail and Yahoo implemented this rule. If you're not authenticated, and you're trying to send 5,000 emails per day, they will not be accepted or moved to the junk folder without any consideration for the content. You'll be rejected. And today, in 2026, there are even more severe measures in place. There are no temporary warnings from ISPs anymore. Your emails get immediately rejected.

So if you haven't set this up yet, you have a serious problem right now.

The Three Protocols

There are three authentication systems. They work together like a security team. SPF is your basic ID check. DKIM is your certified signature. DMARC is the enforcement layer.

SPF: The Clipboard

SPF stands for Sender Policy Framework. Here's the simple version: SPF is a whitelist.

You make a list of the servers that are allowed to send emails using your domain name. The email will be passed by Gmail if the email comes from any of those servers. Otherwise, the email will fail.

Imagine a bouncer with a list at the entrance of a nightclub. "Names on the list, come in. Not on the list? Then you can stay outside!"

Now here’s the downside: SPF checks the source only. However, a smart attacker can spoof an email if they know the right server. Yet it is crucial. Every domain need SPF.

DKIM: The Wax Seal

DKIM, which stands for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is tougher to spoof than SPF. This involves digitally signing your message, like stamping a wax seal on an envelope.

Here's how it works: Whenever you send an email, DKIM digitally signs it (this is done automatically by your email provider). Once the recipient gets your email, they authenticate this digital signature and ensure two things: (1) that it is genuinely from you, and (2) that it hasn’t been tampered with since sending.

ISPs consider DKIM very important when evaluating emails. If your email has been DKIM-signed, the ISPs give it priority. On the other hand, if it is unsigned, they are suspicious of it.

Good news: Your email provider takes care of DKIM signing automatically.

DMARC: The Boss

DMARC stands for Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance. It's the boss of the group. It combines SPF and DKIM and tells ISPs what to do when something goes wrong.

DMARC has two functions:

1. Enforcement: You inform ISPs about what should happen if an email fails SPF and/or DKIM. Should they reject the email? Quarantine it? Or should they simply monitor it?

2. Visibility: Reports come in that will let you know exactly what's going on in your authentication process.

Here's where you have some serious control and insight.

How They Work Together

SPF checks: Is this coming from an authorized server?

DKIM checks: Is this properly signed digitally?

DMARC policy: If either fails, this is your response.

All three work together to create a castle. Basically, you're saying, "Email security is important to me. IISPs can rely on my emails."

If one of them is missing, there is a vulnerability. The ISPs will take advantage of this by using more filtering.

And it must be monitored. You don’t set it up once and leave it alone.

Why ISPs Got Strict

ISPs are overwhelmed with spam. In fact, approximately 46% of email traffic consists of spam. Thus, ISPs are ruthless when it comes to filtering. And one of the first criteria is authentication.

If your email lacks SPF, DKIM, and DMARC authentication protocols, ISPs will instantly assume that you're a spammer. No "maybe" or "possibly." Assume. Because legitimate businesses always authenticate their messages. Professionals don't send unauthenticated emails. Spammers do.

When Google and Yahoo required authentication two years ago, they weren't being jerks. They were saying, "Look, we are overwhelmed with spam. If you want us to consider looking at your message, show us it isn't a scam."

Why ISPs Became a Bouncer

Approximately 46% of all email that is being sent at this very moment is spam. Yeah, about 46%. That's crazy!

Gmail receives 15 billion unsolicited emails EVERYDAY. Yes, you heard right. 15 BILLION!

That is why they decided to tell everyone that “Nobody can be trusted anymore. Everyone must show ID.”

Having SPF, DKIM and DMARC will mean that you are telling Gmail, “I’m here legally and I take security seriously.” Gmail listens to that.

Not having these three means that Gmail treats you as spam. Since only legitimate businesses authenticate emails.

The Death Spiral (This Is What Actually Happens)

1. You fail authentication -> ISPs won’t recognize you

2. ISPs won’t recognize you -> your emails go through filtering

3. Emails are filtered -> people ignore them -> ISPs see low user activity

4. ISPs see low user activity -> they’ll be stricter with filtering next time

5. You’re on the spam permanently -> nothing goes through anymore

And the worst part about it is that the recovery process is long. We’re talking about weeks or even months. You’re going to be struggling against Gmail and Yahoo to get off the spam blocklist. Your reputation is ruined. And even when you do fix the authentication, Gmail’s not going to trust you anytime soon.

But there’s no need for it at all. This is entirely preventable.

Real Talk

If you’re not positive that SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are configured, chances are good they’re not.

Check it right now. Seriously.

Look up “SPF DKIM DMARC checker,” type in your domain, and you’re done in five minutes. If there’s a problem, send an email to your email service provider ASAP. They’ll get it sorted out.

Not done setting them up. Better get started right now. Don’t wait. Do it today. Gmail and Yahoo aren’t playing games.

What You Need to Remember

Authentication is mandatory. This is true for Gmail and Yahoo, which will enforce it by 2026.

No authentication means automatic fraud. ISPs make no exceptions.

There are serious consequences for making mistakes. Loss of income. Reputational damage. Contractor expenses. Support costs. Loss of elections.

It takes time and money to rebuild your reputation. Preventative measures are less expensive than remedial ones.

You need SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, all three.

Next Section

Authentication is the first hurdle that ISPs put up for your emails. They need to confirm that your emails are authentic before looking at anything else.

But there's a second barrier: sender reputation.

Even when emails are perfectly authenticated, ISPs will still question if they should trust the sender by asking: “Are we sure about this sender?” The answer lies in various metrics such as how many users open your email, how often are you reported as spam, your history of sending, and whether you send to invalid email addresses.

Series Edition: Section 1 - The Basics

Why Your Emails Might Be Going to the Spam Folder

A Stat That Should Scare You

The thing is, 1 in 6 actual emails never makes it to the inbox.

Not spam, not wrong addresses, actual emails from actual companies to actual people who opted in to receive them. Poof, gone!

If you've ever sent 1,000 emails in the past month, you've probably already lost 170 of them to the spam folder or bounced before anyone ever sees them. If you've ever sent 100,000 that's 16,900 emails that no one will ever read.

And the worst part is, you probably don't even know it's happening!

Most people look at their email reports and they say, "Sent: 10,000 | Delivery Rate: 99%." But that 99% "delivered" rate doesn't tell you if they were delivered to the actual inbox or the actual spam folder. That's two totally different results.

So... What Even IS Email Deliverability?

Email deliverability is a simple idea, but messy in practice:

It's the question of whether your emails actually show up in people's inboxes, not spam folders, not promotional folders, not nowhere folders.

That's it. That's the whole idea.

Deliverability is not about getting your email out the door from your server. You can send an email with no problem, but it can end up in a spam folder. Deliverability is the difference between "sent" and "seen."

Here's a way to think about it:

Sending an email is like putting a letter in the mail. Deliverability is like getting it delivered to the doorstep, rather than the junk mail heap.

Deliverability vs. Inbox Placement: What's the Difference?

This is where a lot of confusion happens. These two terms get used interchangeably, but they're not the same thing.

So, here’s the real talk: a 99% delivery rate means nothing if only 75% of those emails get into the inbox. You’re celebrating your emails making it to the mail server while your revenue opportunities are in the spam folder.

Why Should You Even Care?

Because it impacts your business in three ways:

1. Revenue loss before anything else happens

If 17% of your emails don't make it to your customers' inboxes, that's 17% of your sales, customers, sign-ups, or engagement that just... disappears. Before they even see your email, before they decide to not buy from you, before anything, and nothing happens. That's money on the table that you'll never see.

2. Your sender reputation gets damaged

ISPs (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, and so on) monitor your email performance. If people are ignoring your emails, deleting your emails, and marking your emails as spam, an ISP will be thinking: "This email sender is not trustworthy." And the worse your reputation gets, the stricter their spam filters will be on your emails. So, your best emails will end up in spam because an ISP already determined that you're a suspicious email sender.

3. Trust is lost, and it happens quietly with each unseen email

Your customers will unsubscribe from your emails because they never see your emails in their inboxes. Your open rates will be terrible. Your team will wonder if email marketing is even working anymore. Meanwhile, email deliverability is quietly slipping under the radar.

The Chaos Part: Dozens of Systems Are Judging Your Emails

Here's where it gets crazy.

Because when you hit "send" on that email, it doesn't go directly to that person's inbox. Before that happens, it has to go through dozens of invisible checks and filters, all at the same time, all with different rules.

Gmail's got its own algorithm. Yahoo's got its own rules. Outlook's got its own rules – and they're all totally different. And then there are all the authentication systems like SPF, DKIM, and DMARK (don't even get me started on those).

Then there's your reputation score as a sender, and your domain's reputation score, and how many people are actually engaging with your emails, and whether or not you're accidentally sending spam keywords in your content...

And that's still not even all of it.

Each one of these email providers has its own way of doing things, its own way of weighing all these different variables and determining whether to deliver your email.

It's chaos. Beautiful, algorithmic, invisible chaos.

But here's the good news: it's not random chaos.

There are patterns and rules and things that you can control.

And that's what this whole series is about.

The Real Question

Before we delve deeper into who and what is responsible for checking your emails, ask yourself:

Do you know what percentage of your emails actually land in the inbox today?

Not sent. Not delivered. Land in the inbox. Where actual humans can see them.

If you don't know the answer to this question, it's totally fine. You're not alone. Most teams don't track it until something goes wrong. But the space between "sent" and "seen" is where all your problems reside.

In the next section, we'll be introducing you to the unseen actors in your email's journey: the ISPs, spam filters, authentication protocols, and algorithms working together to determine your email's fate.

Spoiler alert: it's going to change everything.

Key Takeaway

Email deliverability is the space between sending an email and it arriving in someone’s inbox. The sad truth is that 1 in 6 legitimate emails never makes it to the inbox, which means revenue and engagement are slipping through your fingers before you ever get a chance to engage with them in the first place. And it’s not because of any one thing, it’s a system of invisible checks and filters all working together to pass judgment on every single email you send. The good news is, it’s all based on a system of rules, and understanding them is the first step to winning at email.

Disclaimer: We encourage “rolling” in the case of fire… Just not emails

By Julia, Deliverability Expert

Similar to the response time one may have to being engulfed in flames, I will make this insightful tidbit brief and to the point.

When it comes to block mitigation and server communication, we cannot control how the server responds… or even IF they respond. What we CAN control is how WE respond to the block.

To help make this as simple as possible, our email team has developed a memory tool from the simple and commonly-known (well, I hope it’s commonly known…) phrase “Stop, Drop and Roll.”

STOP

Stop sending completely

Pros – The issue will not progress/worsen; may help to refresh or recover IP/domain reputation

Cons – Domain/IP warming progress may be reversed (in some cases to the point of restarting)

DROP

Drop sending volume

Pros – Can halt a block or prevent further damage; may help to defend our sending practices in server communications

Cons – Can just prologue the inevitable (block) or prevent throttling limits from ever increasing

ROLL

Roll with it (proceed as you would if no issue occurred)

Pros – In rare cases, this issue resolves itself with no loss of volume or engagement for future sends

Cons – In many cases, this worsens the block, making it harder to resolve in this case and future cases for an indefinite amount of time

In contrast to one who may be caught on fire, our team actually discourages “rolling” in response to emailblocks and deliverability errors in most cases. As in the game of poker or the investment of stock, your risks should always be calculated.

Having reviewed that information, keep in mind that every case is different, and nothing is ever definite in the world of email marketing.

If you think you may have encountered a deliverability issue to any capacity and are considering how your team should respond, do not hesitate to reach out to your point of contact for further assistance.

Goonies Never Say Die when it comes to Spam Traps

By Julia, Deliverability Expert

You’ve heard us mention “spam trap emails” – but do you know what that is?

Spam trap emails can catch even the least spammy of emails. This is because these email addresses are utilized specifically to locate senders who are not closely monitoring their recipient lists.

The thought process behind is that, should one of these “fake” emails enter your recipient list, it would be less likely that you are maintaining your recipient list so well that every email on it is a valid & confirmed subscriber.

Sending emails too many of these “recipients” could lead to many blocks that can be detrimental to your domain reputation and overall deliverability.

So how do you know which emails are spam traps? You don’t. They can be previously active but now expired emails, random emails made by servers for this purpose, and really anything in between. The servers use this method to help protect their users from receiving spam content but it surely adds an extra obstacle to those sending mass emails.

At the very least, you are now aware of what we mean when we say “spam traps” & at the very most, you’ll do your best to keep your email list as healthy as humanly possible.

AND LUCKY FOR YOU… we have a few in-platform tools to help you do just that.

Here are a few pointers to keep in mind regarding your recipient list:

ALWAYS turn on validations when importing new lists, especially large lists that may contain emails you are not personally familiar with…

Be sure to review recipient engagement and behavior – this is made easy with our Automation feature. Creating an engagement series for recipients who have not recently engaged with emails allows us to unsubscribe expired or uninterested recipients and their emails.

Respect the wishes of those who would like to be unsubscribed from your list. This means including visible unsubscribe links in all of our emails & reviewing responses for those who may have intended to unsubscribe. This is not only a legal requirement but will benefit you in the long-run. Angry recipients generally yield more spam complaints…

For more information about spam traps and how you can be proactive about keeping your recipient lists healthy, be sure to contact our team for training or insight.

Modern organizations need more than a single email list to effectively engage supporters. Audiences today expect personalized communication, relevant content, and the ability to control what they receive — and organizations need tools that make managing those relationships easier, smarter, and more connected.

That’s exactly what the new Nucleus Email Subscriptions feature delivers.

Built directly into the Nucleus platform, Email Subscriptions gives organizations a modern, flexible, and intelligent way to manage audience communication preferences while keeping everything fully connected to CRM records, segmentation tools, and the email builder.

Move Beyond One-Size-Fits-All Email Lists

Traditionally, many organizations have relied on a single large email list with limited subscriber control. This often leads to generic messaging, lower engagement, and higher unsubscribe rates.

With Nucleus Email Subscriptions, organizations can now create and manage multiple subscription types across:

• Campaign updates
• Events
• Memberships
• Donations
• Volunteer programs
• Website signups
• And more

This allows teams to organize audiences more strategically while delivering communication that feels more relevant and personalized to each supporter.

Smarter Segmentation and Better Campaign Performance

Nucleus Email Subscriptions helps organizations build stronger audience engagement strategies through smarter targeting and cleaner data management.

Teams can now:

• Build more targeted and personalized email campaigns
• Reduce unsubscribe rates by giving users more control
• Automatically enroll supporters into relevant communication categories
• Segment audiences based on interests, actions, engagement, and signup source
• Keep subscriber preferences synced across CRM, email, and audience tools in real time
• Improve campaign performance through more intelligent audience targeting

Because subscription preferences are directly tied into the broader Nucleus ecosystem, organizations gain better visibility into supporter engagement while eliminating disconnected workflows and manual workarounds.

A Better Experience for Supporters

For end users, Email Subscriptions creates a significantly better communication experience.

Instead of being forced into all-or-nothing email lists, supporters can now choose exactly what types of communications they want to receive. Whether someone only wants event updates, volunteer opportunities, donation campaigns, or organizational news, Nucleus gives them the flexibility to manage their preferences more easily.

This level of transparency and control helps organizations build stronger trust with their audiences while improving long-term engagement.

Fully Connected Across the Nucleus Ecosystem

One of the biggest advantages of Nucleus Email Subscriptions is that every subscription action is fully logged, synced, and connected directly to the broader platform ecosystem.

That means organizations no longer need disconnected third-party subscription tools or complicated manual processes to maintain accurate audience data.

Everything works together seamlessly across:

• CRM records
• Audience segmentation
• Email campaigns
• Website signups
• Automation workflows
• Supporter engagement tracking

The result is stronger operational efficiency, cleaner audience management, and more intelligent communication workflows at scale.

Building Stronger Relationships Through Smarter Communication

The launch of Nucleus Email Subscriptions represents a major step forward for campaigns, nonprofits, advocacy groups, and organizations looking to improve how they engage supporters.

By combining flexible subscription management with real-time CRM syncing and advanced segmentation capabilities, organizations can now deliver more relevant communication, strengthen supporter relationships, and build smarter engagement strategies directly within Nucleus.

Smarter audience management starts with giving both organizations and supporters more control — and Nucleus Email Subscriptions is designed to do exactly that.

Ready to ditch the one-size-fits-all email list?

Building highly targeted audiences has traditionally required complicated filters, layered segmentation rules, and technical expertise that can slow down campaign execution and audience management.

The new Nucleus AI Segment Builder changes that completely.

Designed to simplify audience creation, the AI Segment Builder allows organizations to create powerful CRM and email segments using simple natural language prompts instead of manual rule building and advanced filter logic.

Instead of spending time navigating complex targeting systems, users can simply describe the audience they want to reach — and Nucleus automatically generates the segmentation logic behind the scenes.

Create Audiences Using Natural Language

The AI Segment Builder makes advanced audience targeting dramatically easier by allowing teams to build segments conversationally.

Users can create audiences using prompts such as:

• “Donors in Florida who opened our last 3 emails”
• “Volunteers who attended an event in the last 12 months”
• “Inactive subscribers in key swing counties”

Nucleus instantly converts these requests into advanced segmentation logic, eliminating the need for manual filter building or technical setup.

Built Directly Into CRM and Email Workflows

Built directly into both the CRM and Amplify Email tools, the AI Segment Builder helps organizations create more targeted audiences faster while improving workflow efficiency across teams.

By integrating segmentation directly into existing campaign and communication workflows, organizations can move from audience creation to outreach much more quickly.

Key Capabilities

The AI Segment Builder includes a wide range of intelligent audience targeting features, including:

• Natural language audience creation
• AI-powered segment logic generation
• CRM and email module integration
• Advanced AND/OR targeting logic
• Smarter audience filtering without manual rule building
• Faster campaign setup and workflow execution
• Improved targeting precision for outreach and engagement

These capabilities help organizations build smarter campaigns while reducing the learning curve associated with advanced segmentation tools.

Accessible for Every Team

One of the biggest advantages of the AI Segment Builder is accessibility.

This release was designed to make advanced segmentation significantly more approachable for organizations of all sizes — from experienced data teams to users who may not feel comfortable building highly technical audience filters manually.

Instead of requiring deep technical knowledge, the platform allows teams to focus more on campaign strategy, messaging, and supporter engagement while Nucleus handles the complexity behind the scenes.

Powered by AI

Powered by advanced large language model technology, the AI Segment Builder represents another major step toward more intelligent, AI-assisted campaign and organization management inside Nucleus.

By simplifying audience creation and automating advanced segmentation logic, organizations can work faster, target more effectively, and execute campaigns with greater precision and efficiency.

The future of audience targeting isn’t about building more complicated filters — it’s about simply describing the audience you want and letting AI do the heavy lifting.

The campaigns winning right now aren't guessing — they're targeting. 

Series Edition: Section 1 - The Basics

Why Your Emails Might Be Going to the Spam Folder

A Stat That Should Scare You

The thing is, 1 in 6 actual emails never makes it to the inbox.

Not spam, not wrong addresses, actual emails from actual companies to actual people who opted in to receive them. Poof, gone!

If you've ever sent 1,000 emails in the past month, you've probably already lost 170 of them to the spam folder or bounced before anyone ever sees them. If you've ever sent 100,000 that's 16,900 emails that no one will ever read.

And the worst part is, you probably don't even know it's happening!

Most people look at their email reports and they say, "Sent: 10,000 | Delivery Rate: 99%." But that 99% "delivered" rate doesn't tell you if they were delivered to the actual inbox or the actual spam folder. That's two totally different results.

So... What Even IS Email Deliverability?

Email deliverability is a simple idea, but messy in practice:

It's the question of whether your emails actually show up in people's inboxes, not spam folders, not promotional folders, not nowhere folders.

That's it. That's the whole idea.

Deliverability is not about getting your email out the door from your server. You can send an email with no problem, but it can end up in a spam folder. Deliverability is the difference between "sent" and "seen."

Here's a way to think about it:

Sending an email is like putting a letter in the mail. Deliverability is like getting it delivered to the doorstep, rather than the junk mail heap.

Deliverability vs. Inbox Placement: What's the Difference?

This is where a lot of confusion happens. These two terms get used interchangeably, but they're not the same thing.

So, here’s the real talk: a 99% delivery rate means nothing if only 75% of those emails get into the inbox. You’re celebrating your emails making it to the mail server while your revenue opportunities are in the spam folder.

Why Should You Even Care?

Because it impacts your business in three ways:

1. Revenue loss before anything else happens

If 17% of your emails don't make it to your customers' inboxes, that's 17% of your sales, customers, sign-ups, or engagement that just... disappears. Before they even see your email, before they decide to not buy from you, before anything, and nothing happens. That's money on the table that you'll never see.

2. Your sender reputation gets damaged

ISPs (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, and so on) monitor your email performance. If people are ignoring your emails, deleting your emails, and marking your emails as spam, an ISP will be thinking: "This email sender is not trustworthy." And the worse your reputation gets, the stricter their spam filters will be on your emails. So, your best emails will end up in spam because an ISP already determined that you're a suspicious email sender.

3. Trust is lost, and it happens quietly with each unseen email

Your customers will unsubscribe from your emails because they never see your emails in their inboxes. Your open rates will be terrible. Your team will wonder if email marketing is even working anymore. Meanwhile, email deliverability is quietly slipping under the radar.

The Chaos Part: Dozens of Systems Are Judging Your Emails

Here's where it gets crazy.

Because when you hit "send" on that email, it doesn't go directly to that person's inbox. Before that happens, it has to go through dozens of invisible checks and filters, all at the same time, all with different rules.

Gmail's got its own algorithm. Yahoo's got its own rules. Outlook's got its own rules – and they're all totally different. And then there are all the authentication systems like SPF, DKIM, and DMARK (don't even get me started on those).

Then there's your reputation score as a sender, and your domain's reputation score, and how many people are actually engaging with your emails, and whether or not you're accidentally sending spam keywords in your content...

And that's still not even all of it.

Each one of these email providers has its own way of doing things, its own way of weighing all these different variables and determining whether to deliver your email.

It's chaos. Beautiful, algorithmic, invisible chaos.

But here's the good news: it's not random chaos.

There are patterns and rules and things that you can control.

And that's what this whole series is about.

The Real Question

Before we delve deeper into who and what is responsible for checking your emails, ask yourself:

Do you know what percentage of your emails actually land in the inbox today?

Not sent. Not delivered. Land in the inbox. Where actual humans can see them.

If you don't know the answer to this question, it's totally fine. You're not alone. Most teams don't track it until something goes wrong. But the space between "sent" and "seen" is where all your problems reside.

In the next section, we'll be introducing you to the unseen actors in your email's journey: the ISPs, spam filters, authentication protocols, and algorithms working together to determine your email's fate.

Spoiler alert: it's going to change everything.

Key Takeaway

Email deliverability is the space between sending an email and it arriving in someone’s inbox. The sad truth is that 1 in 6 legitimate emails never makes it to the inbox, which means revenue and engagement are slipping through your fingers before you ever get a chance to engage with them in the first place. And it’s not because of any one thing, it’s a system of invisible checks and filters all working together to pass judgment on every single email you send. The good news is, it’s all based on a system of rules, and understanding them is the first step to winning at email.

Series Edition: Section 2 - Authentication Protocols “Your Emails' Identity Crisis”

Your Emails Need an ID Card

SPF, DKIM, DMARC Explained (Without the Jargon)

Here’s an example: You write the ideal email. It has everything. You have a good copy and good design. You send it to 50,000 recipients. Gmail blocks your email.

Why?

Because you didn’t verify your identity.

This is called authentication, and you must do it.

The Trust Problem

These days, ISPs (Internet Service Providers: Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, et al.) do not trust anything by default. The first thing they want to ask about an incoming email is whether it is legitimate and whether it really came from whoever the sender claims to be.

And why do they do that? Because spammers are sneaky. They use fake domain names, masquerade as your bank, clone organizations, and send you emails which are supposedly sent "from: [email protected]," whereas they were sent from some shady server located in Russia.

To establish authenticity, ISPs designed a special mechanism that we refer to as an email's ID card and authentication protocols!

But here's how things are different: In February 2024, just two years ago, Gmail and Yahoo implemented this rule. If you're not authenticated, and you're trying to send 5,000 emails per day, they will not be accepted or moved to the junk folder without any consideration for the content. You'll be rejected. And today, in 2026, there are even more severe measures in place. There are no temporary warnings from ISPs anymore. Your emails get immediately rejected.

So if you haven't set this up yet, you have a serious problem right now.

The Three Protocols

There are three authentication systems. They work together like a security team. SPF is your basic ID check. DKIM is your certified signature. DMARC is the enforcement layer.

SPF: The Clipboard

SPF stands for Sender Policy Framework. Here's the simple version: SPF is a whitelist.

You make a list of the servers that are allowed to send emails using your domain name. The email will be passed by Gmail if the email comes from any of those servers. Otherwise, the email will fail.

Imagine a bouncer with a list at the entrance of a nightclub. "Names on the list, come in. Not on the list? Then you can stay outside!"

Now here’s the downside: SPF checks the source only. However, a smart attacker can spoof an email if they know the right server. Yet it is crucial. Every domain need SPF.

DKIM: The Wax Seal

DKIM, which stands for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is tougher to spoof than SPF. This involves digitally signing your message, like stamping a wax seal on an envelope.

Here's how it works: Whenever you send an email, DKIM digitally signs it (this is done automatically by your email provider). Once the recipient gets your email, they authenticate this digital signature and ensure two things: (1) that it is genuinely from you, and (2) that it hasn’t been tampered with since sending.

ISPs consider DKIM very important when evaluating emails. If your email has been DKIM-signed, the ISPs give it priority. On the other hand, if it is unsigned, they are suspicious of it.

Good news: Your email provider takes care of DKIM signing automatically.

DMARC: The Boss

DMARC stands for Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance. It's the boss of the group. It combines SPF and DKIM and tells ISPs what to do when something goes wrong.

DMARC has two functions:

1. Enforcement: You inform ISPs about what should happen if an email fails SPF and/or DKIM. Should they reject the email? Quarantine it? Or should they simply monitor it?

2. Visibility: Reports come in that will let you know exactly what's going on in your authentication process.

Here's where you have some serious control and insight.

How They Work Together

SPF checks: Is this coming from an authorized server?

DKIM checks: Is this properly signed digitally?

DMARC policy: If either fails, this is your response.

All three work together to create a castle. Basically, you're saying, "Email security is important to me. IISPs can rely on my emails."

If one of them is missing, there is a vulnerability. The ISPs will take advantage of this by using more filtering.

And it must be monitored. You don’t set it up once and leave it alone.

Why ISPs Got Strict

ISPs are overwhelmed with spam. In fact, approximately 46% of email traffic consists of spam. Thus, ISPs are ruthless when it comes to filtering. And one of the first criteria is authentication.

If your email lacks SPF, DKIM, and DMARC authentication protocols, ISPs will instantly assume that you're a spammer. No "maybe" or "possibly." Assume. Because legitimate businesses always authenticate their messages. Professionals don't send unauthenticated emails. Spammers do.

When Google and Yahoo required authentication two years ago, they weren't being jerks. They were saying, "Look, we are overwhelmed with spam. If you want us to consider looking at your message, show us it isn't a scam."

Why ISPs Became a Bouncer

Approximately 46% of all email that is being sent at this very moment is spam. Yeah, about 46%. That's crazy!

Gmail receives 15 billion unsolicited emails EVERYDAY. Yes, you heard right. 15 BILLION!

That is why they decided to tell everyone that “Nobody can be trusted anymore. Everyone must show ID.”

Having SPF, DKIM and DMARC will mean that you are telling Gmail, “I’m here legally and I take security seriously.” Gmail listens to that.

Not having these three means that Gmail treats you as spam. Since only legitimate businesses authenticate emails.

The Death Spiral (This Is What Actually Happens)

1. You fail authentication -> ISPs won’t recognize you

2. ISPs won’t recognize you -> your emails go through filtering

3. Emails are filtered -> people ignore them -> ISPs see low user activity

4. ISPs see low user activity -> they’ll be stricter with filtering next time

5. You’re on the spam permanently -> nothing goes through anymore

And the worst part about it is that the recovery process is long. We’re talking about weeks or even months. You’re going to be struggling against Gmail and Yahoo to get off the spam blocklist. Your reputation is ruined. And even when you do fix the authentication, Gmail’s not going to trust you anytime soon.

But there’s no need for it at all. This is entirely preventable.

Real Talk

If you’re not positive that SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are configured, chances are good they’re not.

Check it right now. Seriously.

Look up “SPF DKIM DMARC checker,” type in your domain, and you’re done in five minutes. If there’s a problem, send an email to your email service provider ASAP. They’ll get it sorted out.

Not done setting them up. Better get started right now. Don’t wait. Do it today. Gmail and Yahoo aren’t playing games.

What You Need to Remember

Authentication is mandatory. This is true for Gmail and Yahoo, which will enforce it by 2026.

No authentication means automatic fraud. ISPs make no exceptions.

There are serious consequences for making mistakes. Loss of income. Reputational damage. Contractor expenses. Support costs. Loss of elections.

It takes time and money to rebuild your reputation. Preventative measures are less expensive than remedial ones.

You need SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, all three.

Next Section

Authentication is the first hurdle that ISPs put up for your emails. They need to confirm that your emails are authentic before looking at anything else.

But there's a second barrier: sender reputation.

Even when emails are perfectly authenticated, ISPs will still question if they should trust the sender by asking: “Are we sure about this sender?” The answer lies in various metrics such as how many users open your email, how often are you reported as spam, your history of sending, and whether you send to invalid email addresses.

Modern organizations need more than a single email list to effectively engage supporters. Audiences today expect personalized communication, relevant content, and the ability to control what they receive — and organizations need tools that make managing those relationships easier, smarter, and more connected.

That’s exactly what the new Nucleus Email Subscriptions feature delivers.

Built directly into the Nucleus platform, Email Subscriptions gives organizations a modern, flexible, and intelligent way to manage audience communication preferences while keeping everything fully connected to CRM records, segmentation tools, and the email builder.

Move Beyond One-Size-Fits-All Email Lists

Traditionally, many organizations have relied on a single large email list with limited subscriber control. This often leads to generic messaging, lower engagement, and higher unsubscribe rates.

With Nucleus Email Subscriptions, organizations can now create and manage multiple subscription types across:

• Campaign updates
• Events
• Memberships
• Donations
• Volunteer programs
• Website signups
• And more

This allows teams to organize audiences more strategically while delivering communication that feels more relevant and personalized to each supporter.

Smarter Segmentation and Better Campaign Performance

Nucleus Email Subscriptions helps organizations build stronger audience engagement strategies through smarter targeting and cleaner data management.

Teams can now:

• Build more targeted and personalized email campaigns
• Reduce unsubscribe rates by giving users more control
• Automatically enroll supporters into relevant communication categories
• Segment audiences based on interests, actions, engagement, and signup source
• Keep subscriber preferences synced across CRM, email, and audience tools in real time
• Improve campaign performance through more intelligent audience targeting

Because subscription preferences are directly tied into the broader Nucleus ecosystem, organizations gain better visibility into supporter engagement while eliminating disconnected workflows and manual workarounds.

A Better Experience for Supporters

For end users, Email Subscriptions creates a significantly better communication experience.

Instead of being forced into all-or-nothing email lists, supporters can now choose exactly what types of communications they want to receive. Whether someone only wants event updates, volunteer opportunities, donation campaigns, or organizational news, Nucleus gives them the flexibility to manage their preferences more easily.

This level of transparency and control helps organizations build stronger trust with their audiences while improving long-term engagement.

Fully Connected Across the Nucleus Ecosystem

One of the biggest advantages of Nucleus Email Subscriptions is that every subscription action is fully logged, synced, and connected directly to the broader platform ecosystem.

That means organizations no longer need disconnected third-party subscription tools or complicated manual processes to maintain accurate audience data.

Everything works together seamlessly across:

• CRM records
• Audience segmentation
• Email campaigns
• Website signups
• Automation workflows
• Supporter engagement tracking

The result is stronger operational efficiency, cleaner audience management, and more intelligent communication workflows at scale.

Building Stronger Relationships Through Smarter Communication

The launch of Nucleus Email Subscriptions represents a major step forward for campaigns, nonprofits, advocacy groups, and organizations looking to improve how they engage supporters.

By combining flexible subscription management with real-time CRM syncing and advanced segmentation capabilities, organizations can now deliver more relevant communication, strengthen supporter relationships, and build smarter engagement strategies directly within Nucleus.

Smarter audience management starts with giving both organizations and supporters more control — and Nucleus Email Subscriptions is designed to do exactly that.

Ready to ditch the one-size-fits-all email list?

If you walked up to a stranger on the street and asked them for $20, odds are they’re going to look at you like you're crazy and walk away. I cannot blame them; I’d do the same. Now… what if, instead, you engaged them in conversation, swapped contact information, developed a friendship over the course of many weeks, and THEN asked for $20? You might have a better shot.

Well, in some ways, email marketing is a lot similar. People are much more likely to support a cause that they are familiar with and trust. So, with that in mind, it might be time to consider how we can be building trust with our subscribers so that we see the most possible success with our emails.

This means that we need to provide content that makes the recipient feel valued as opposed to just another donor. Before we ask for money and support, we need to show the subscriber how much they matter to us; that we do not just care about their wallets.

So what kind of content can we send out that would align with this goal of building trust? I have a few ideas…

Newsletters and informational content

• These emails can be used to inform your recipients on your mission and the news you find most important. Subscribers will be able to see how their values align with your own and, in turn, may acquire more support for your cause.

Feedback

• Do not be afraid to ask your subscribers about their opinions. Whether you need advice on how to go about things or you’d like to know what you can do better in the future, your recipients should be the first people you ask. Their opinions matter most!

Prospecting

• Sometimes the easiest way we can appeal to our subscribers is to ask them what they care to hear about. Our Nucleus CRM allows us to quickly tag our recipients so we can be ensuring we are reaching out to them with their interests in mind.

These are just a few types of emails we can be sending to our subscribers to ensure that we are building trust before forcing asks down their throat. I think you’ll all find that embedding a little love and care into all of our emails will always pay off in the long run.

As Election Day approaches, every moment counts, and staying connected with your supporters is more critical than ever. Are you using Nucleus Text or P2P Messaging to ensure that instant, personalized communication drives your campaign forward?

Imagine this: It's the night before the election, and you're able to instantly rally your base with a targeted message reminding them to vote. With Nucleus, that's not just possible—it's easy. Our Nucleus Text feature lets you send out quick, personalized updates, ensuring your supporters know where to go, what to bring, and why their vote matters.

For a more personal touch, our P2P Messaging tool allows you to engage in one-on-one conversations at scale. Think about the impact of a direct message from a volunteer, asking a voter if they need help getting to the polls or answering any last-minute questions. This kind of outreach can be the difference between a vote cast or a vote missed!

Beyond Election Day…

But it doesn't stop there. Nucleus messaging integrates seamlessly with your broader campaign efforts. If you're hosting a last-minute rally, use our messaging tools to send out an invite, then track who opens the message and who clicks to RSVP. Need to share crucial updates from the campaign trail? A quick text or P2P message ensures your supporters are always in the loop, no matter where they are.

And as your messages go out, you'll have real-time analytics at your fingertips. See how many people received your message, who engaged, and who might need a follow-up—all in one place, without missing a beat.

Why Messaging?

Well, besides the fact that everyone has a phone attached to them these days, texts also benefit that other messaging like emails can't give you. Some advantages include:

Higher Open Rates: Text messages generally have much higher open rates compared to emails. Many people read texts almost immediately after receiving them.

Immediate Delivery: SMS messages are delivered instantly, making them ideal for time-sensitive information or urgent updates.

Personalization: Texts can feel more personal and direct, which can enhance engagement and make your messages feel more immediate and relevant.

Conciseness: Text messages force you to be brief and to the point, which can be effective for quick, clear communication.

Better Reach: Text messages can reach people who may not check their email frequently or who have limited internet access but always carry their phones.

Higher Engagement: Due to the personal nature of text messaging, recipients are more likely to respond or take action quickly.

No Spam Filters: Text messages don't get caught in spam filters like emails can, ensuring your message gets through.

Convenience: For quick updates or reminders, texts can be more convenient and accessible than email, especially on the go.

However, it's important to note that text campaigns also have limitations, such as character limits and potential costs per message. Balancing text and email campaigns can often be the best approach, leveraging each of their strengths.

Try these text campaign ideas!

• Voter Reminders

Send out last-minute reminders to your supporters about important voting deadlines, like early voting dates or Election Day itself. Include personalized information, such as polling locations or voting hours, based on their registered address.

• Event Invitations

Quickly notify your supporters about campaign events, rallies, or virtual town halls. Include a link to RSVP directly within the text, and follow up with a reminder on the day of the event.

• Get-Out-The-Vote (GOTV) Campaigns

Launch a text campaign to encourage voter turnout. Send personalized messages asking if they need a ride to the polls, reminding them to bring the necessary ID, or simply urging them to get out and vote.

• Fundraising Appeals

Use text messaging to send urgent fundraising appeals. A quick, compelling message with a direct link to donate can significantly boost contributions, especially during crucial campaign moments.

• Poll Watcher Coordination

Coordinate your poll watchers or volunteers with real-time updates and instructions. This is especially useful on Election Day, where rapid communication is essential.

• Issue Awareness

Educate your supporters on key issues and your stance on them. Short, informative texts can help clarify your position and mobilize your base on important topics.

• Thank You Messages

After an event, donation, or volunteer effort, send a quick thank-you text to show appreciation. Personalized gratitude can strengthen supporter loyalty and encourage future engagement.

• Surveys and Feedback

Engage your audience by sending out quick surveys or asking for feedback via text. Use this data to fine-tune your campaign strategy or understand voter concerns better.

• Crisis Communication

If there's an unexpected change in the campaign (like a venue change or emergency), a text message is the fastest way to reach your audience and keep them informed.

• Election Results Updates

Keep your supporters in the loop on Election Night with live updates as results come in. Share the excitement and keep them engaged as the outcome unfolds.

So what are you waiting for?

Now is the perfect time to send those texts and get your supporters more engaged than ever!

We know Nucleus offers a lot of powerful features, so to get you started on your Nucleus journey, we've crafted this simple guide to help you promote and create an event. Feel free to customize this template to fit your needs!

Creating Your Event

Start by creating your event in Nucleus. Choose the event date, time, location, and any custom fields you may need. We recommend enabling the 'Calendar Option' under 'Advanced Settings' so your attendees can easily save the date.

You can also enable 'Signup Mail' in 'Advanced Settings,' which will automatically send a confirmation email to your attendees with the event details and your personalized message.

Once the event is set up, head to the 'Event Overview' page. Here, you'll find your event's link and QR code to share (more on that later), and you can track signups, manage staff, and more. With 'Event Communications,' you can easily send emails or texts to your attendees about important updates like parking, timing, or other logistical information, all without leaving the Events module.

Day of the Event

When the big day arrives, you can use the 'Event Signup' tabs to check in guests, manage staff assignments, and track special categories such as VIPs or media attendees.

**Pro Tip:** Create a 'CRM Tag' in Tag Manager to track your attendees in event signups. You can use this tag later in email or text campaigns for follow-ups and future engagements.

Spreading the Word with Emails

Now that your event page is live, it's time to promote it. Start by creating an email campaign to notify potential attendees and encourage them to sign up. In your email, link images and buttons, or copy the links directly to your event page using the live link from your 'Event Overview.'

**Pro Tip:** Use the CRM tag you created for your event signups to segment your email list. This way, you can send targeted emails leading up to the event, increasing excitement and providing more details. You can even encourage attendees to share the event with others.

Promoting with Texts and P2P

Depending on your integrations, you can also use Text or P2P messaging to promote your event. Include the live QR code from your event or share the event link directly in the message so recipients can easily sign up. In these messages, you can provide more event details, announce special guests, or update your audience on ticket availability to boost engagement.

Automating the Process

Need to manage multiple tasks for your event? Use 'Automate' to create workflows that streamline your event planning. Set up automation triggers based on event signups to send emails, tag attendees, and handle other tasks automatically. This ensures you don't miss a step and saves you valuable time. You can even set up post-event automation to thank attendees, send surveys for feedback, or promote upcoming events.

Elevate Your Event with Nucleus

This is just a glimpse of the powerful tools Campaign Nucleus offers to help you create seamless and memorable events for both your team and your guests. We hope this guide sparks some inspiration and gives you a clear starting point on how to use key Nucleus features to plan and promote your events.

Events are often the pinnacle moments for campaigns and organizations, serving as powerful platforms for engagement, networking, and fundraising. Whether it's a campaign launch, a fundraising gala, a conference, or a community outreach initiative, events hold the potential to leave a lasting impression and drive significant outcomes. In this blog, we will briefly explore the incredible event features Nucleus has to offer you and your team!

The Impact of Events

Events have the remarkable ability to bring people together, fostering meaningful connections and creating opportunities for collaboration. They serve as catalysts for relationship building, enabling organizations to engage with their target audience, stakeholders, and partners in a dynamic and immersive setting. Furthermore, events offer a platform for showcasing ideas and fundraising, allowing organizations to generate excitement, gather feedback, and drive donations. For campaigns, events can be pivotal in raising awareness, mobilizing support, and rallying communities around a cause. The impact of a well-executed event can reverberate far beyond its duration, leaving a lasting impression on attendees and amplifying the reach and influence of the hosting organization.

Key Elements of Event Success

The success of an event hinges on a myriad of factors, from meticulous planning and seamless execution to compelling content and memorable experiences. A clear understanding of the target audience and their needs is essential for designing an event that resonates and delivers value. Additionally, leveraging technology and data analytics can enhance the effectiveness of events by enabling personalized experiences, measuring impact, and informing future strategies.

Modern organizations need more than a single email list to effectively engage supporters. Audiences today expect personalized communication, relevant content, and the ability to control what they receive — and organizations need tools that make managing those relationships easier, smarter, and more connected.

That’s exactly what the new Nucleus Email Subscriptions feature delivers.

Built directly into the Nucleus platform, Email Subscriptions gives organizations a modern, flexible, and intelligent way to manage audience communication preferences while keeping everything fully connected to CRM records, segmentation tools, and the email builder.

Move Beyond One-Size-Fits-All Email Lists

Traditionally, many organizations have relied on a single large email list with limited subscriber control. This often leads to generic messaging, lower engagement, and higher unsubscribe rates.

With Nucleus Email Subscriptions, organizations can now create and manage multiple subscription types across:

• Campaign updates
• Events
• Memberships
• Donations
• Volunteer programs
• Website signups
• And more

This allows teams to organize audiences more strategically while delivering communication that feels more relevant and personalized to each supporter.

Smarter Segmentation and Better Campaign Performance

Nucleus Email Subscriptions helps organizations build stronger audience engagement strategies through smarter targeting and cleaner data management.

Teams can now:

• Build more targeted and personalized email campaigns
• Reduce unsubscribe rates by giving users more control
• Automatically enroll supporters into relevant communication categories
• Segment audiences based on interests, actions, engagement, and signup source
• Keep subscriber preferences synced across CRM, email, and audience tools in real time
• Improve campaign performance through more intelligent audience targeting

Because subscription preferences are directly tied into the broader Nucleus ecosystem, organizations gain better visibility into supporter engagement while eliminating disconnected workflows and manual workarounds.

A Better Experience for Supporters

For end users, Email Subscriptions creates a significantly better communication experience.

Instead of being forced into all-or-nothing email lists, supporters can now choose exactly what types of communications they want to receive. Whether someone only wants event updates, volunteer opportunities, donation campaigns, or organizational news, Nucleus gives them the flexibility to manage their preferences more easily.

This level of transparency and control helps organizations build stronger trust with their audiences while improving long-term engagement.

Fully Connected Across the Nucleus Ecosystem

One of the biggest advantages of Nucleus Email Subscriptions is that every subscription action is fully logged, synced, and connected directly to the broader platform ecosystem.

That means organizations no longer need disconnected third-party subscription tools or complicated manual processes to maintain accurate audience data.

Everything works together seamlessly across:

• CRM records
• Audience segmentation
• Email campaigns
• Website signups
• Automation workflows
• Supporter engagement tracking

The result is stronger operational efficiency, cleaner audience management, and more intelligent communication workflows at scale.

Building Stronger Relationships Through Smarter Communication

The launch of Nucleus Email Subscriptions represents a major step forward for campaigns, nonprofits, advocacy groups, and organizations looking to improve how they engage supporters.

By combining flexible subscription management with real-time CRM syncing and advanced segmentation capabilities, organizations can now deliver more relevant communication, strengthen supporter relationships, and build smarter engagement strategies directly within Nucleus.

Smarter audience management starts with giving both organizations and supporters more control — and Nucleus Email Subscriptions is designed to do exactly that.

Ready to ditch the one-size-fits-all email list?

Building highly targeted audience universes has traditionally required complex segmentation logic, layered filters, and technical expertise. For many organizations, creating the right audience meant spending hours manually configuring demographic criteria, engagement history, geographic data, and behavioral filters — often across massive datasets.

The new Nucleus AI Universe Builder changes that entirely.

Designed to simplify advanced audience creation, the AI Universe Builder allows users to create sophisticated targeting universes simply by describing the audience they want in plain English. Instead of navigating complicated filtering systems or writing advanced logic, users can now build powerful audience segments through natural conversation.

Build Audiences Using Natural Language

At the core of the AI Universe Builder is a conversational AI-powered interface that translates everyday requests into advanced targeting logic automatically.

Users can type prompts such as:

• High reliability voters age 56+
• Boomers based in the Northeast
• Inactive donors who attended an event last year
• Subscribers in key counties who engaged with recent emails

Behind the scenes, Nucleus converts these requests into structured segmentation rules, audience filters, and targeting logic in real time.

This means teams no longer need to understand SQL queries, complicated demographic structures, or deeply nested filter systems to build advanced audiences.

Faster Workflows, Smarter Segmentation

The AI Universe Builder was designed to help organizations move faster without sacrificing precision.

Key capabilities include:

• Conversational AI-powered universe creation
• Real-time filter generation and audience previews
• Automated demographic and voter targeting logic
• Guided prompts and smart suggestions
• Faster audience creation workflows
• Accessible advanced targeting for non-technical users
• Smarter segmentation across large datasets and CRM records

By reducing manual setup time and simplifying the segmentation process, teams can focus more on strategy, outreach, and activation rather than operational complexity.

Built for Campaigns, Advocacy, and Nonprofit Teams

For political campaigns, advocacy organizations, nonprofits, and membership-driven teams, audience targeting is critical — but often time-consuming.

The AI Universe Builder enables organizations to identify and activate highly specific audiences in seconds instead of spending hours manually configuring filters and targeting logic.

Whether teams are trying to re-engage inactive supporters, identify key voter groups, or build segmented outreach campaigns, the tool makes advanced targeting significantly more accessible across the organization.

Making Advanced Data Operations More Accessible

The launch of the AI Universe Builder represents another major step forward in Nucleus’ mission to make advanced data operations more intelligent, accessible, and actionable.

By combining AI-driven conversation with sophisticated backend targeting logic, organizations can now unlock enterprise-level segmentation capabilities without requiring deep technical expertise.

Building highly targeted audiences has traditionally required complicated filters, layered segmentation rules, and technical expertise that can slow down campaign execution and audience management.

The new Nucleus AI Segment Builder changes that completely.

Designed to simplify audience creation, the AI Segment Builder allows organizations to create powerful CRM and email segments using simple natural language prompts instead of manual rule building and advanced filter logic.

Instead of spending time navigating complex targeting systems, users can simply describe the audience they want to reach — and Nucleus automatically generates the segmentation logic behind the scenes.

Create Audiences Using Natural Language

The AI Segment Builder makes advanced audience targeting dramatically easier by allowing teams to build segments conversationally.

Users can create audiences using prompts such as:

• “Donors in Florida who opened our last 3 emails”
• “Volunteers who attended an event in the last 12 months”
• “Inactive subscribers in key swing counties”

Nucleus instantly converts these requests into advanced segmentation logic, eliminating the need for manual filter building or technical setup.

Built Directly Into CRM and Email Workflows

Built directly into both the CRM and Amplify Email tools, the AI Segment Builder helps organizations create more targeted audiences faster while improving workflow efficiency across teams.

By integrating segmentation directly into existing campaign and communication workflows, organizations can move from audience creation to outreach much more quickly.

Key Capabilities

The AI Segment Builder includes a wide range of intelligent audience targeting features, including:

• Natural language audience creation
• AI-powered segment logic generation
• CRM and email module integration
• Advanced AND/OR targeting logic
• Smarter audience filtering without manual rule building
• Faster campaign setup and workflow execution
• Improved targeting precision for outreach and engagement

These capabilities help organizations build smarter campaigns while reducing the learning curve associated with advanced segmentation tools.

Accessible for Every Team

One of the biggest advantages of the AI Segment Builder is accessibility.

This release was designed to make advanced segmentation significantly more approachable for organizations of all sizes — from experienced data teams to users who may not feel comfortable building highly technical audience filters manually.

Instead of requiring deep technical knowledge, the platform allows teams to focus more on campaign strategy, messaging, and supporter engagement while Nucleus handles the complexity behind the scenes.

Powered by AI

Powered by advanced large language model technology, the AI Segment Builder represents another major step toward more intelligent, AI-assisted campaign and organization management inside Nucleus.

By simplifying audience creation and automating advanced segmentation logic, organizations can work faster, target more effectively, and execute campaigns with greater precision and efficiency.

The future of audience targeting isn’t about building more complicated filters — it’s about simply describing the audience you want and letting AI do the heavy lifting.

The campaigns winning right now aren't guessing — they're targeting.

At Nucleus, we pride ourselves on being the ultimate command center for all your campaign and organizational operations. Whether you need help with targeting your audience through marketing emails, hosting events, managing volunteers, tracking donors and stakeholders, or more—we've got you covered. We know Nucleus offers a lot of powerful features, so to get you started on your Nucleus journey, we've crafted this simple guide to help you promote and create an event. Feel free to customize this template to fit your needs!

Creating Your Event

Start by creating your event in Nucleus. Choose the event date, time, location, and any custom fields you may need. We recommend enabling the 'Calendar Option' under 'Advanced Settings' so your attendees can easily save the date.

You can also enable 'Signup Mail' in 'Advanced Settings,' which will automatically send a confirmation email to your attendees with the event details and your personalized message.

Once the event is set up, head to the 'Event Overview' page. Here, you'll find your event's link and QR code to share (more on that later), and you can track signups, manage staff, and more. With 'Event Communications,' you can easily send emails or texts to your attendees about important updates like parking, timing, or other logistical information, all without leaving the Events module.

Day of the Event

When the big day arrives, you can use the 'Event Signup' tabs to check in guests, manage staff assignments, and track special categories such as VIPs or media attendees.

**Pro Tip:** Create a 'CRM Tag' in Tag Manager to track your attendees in event signups. You can use this tag later in email or text campaigns for follow-ups and future engagements.

Spreading the Word with Emails

Now that your event page is live, it's time to promote it. Start by creating an email campaign to notify potential attendees and encourage them to sign up. In your email, link images and buttons, or copy the links directly to your event page using the live link from your 'Event Overview.'

**Pro Tip:** Use the CRM tag you created for your event signups to segment your email list. This way, you can send targeted emails leading up to the event, increasing excitement and providing more details. You can even encourage attendees to share the event with others.

Promoting with Texts and P2P

Depending on your integrations, you can also use Text or P2P messaging to promote your event. Include the live QR code from your event or share the event link directly in the message so recipients can easily sign up. In these messages, you can provide more event details, announce special guests, or update your audience on ticket availability to boost engagement.

Automating the Process

Need to manage multiple tasks for your event? Use 'Automate' to create workflows that streamline your event planning. Set up automation triggers based on event signups to send emails, tag attendees, and handle other tasks automatically. This ensures you don't miss a step and saves you valuable time. You can even set up post-event automation to thank attendees, send surveys for feedback, or promote upcoming events.

Elevate Your Event with Nucleus

This is just a glimpse of the powerful tools Campaign Nucleus offers to help you create seamless and memorable events for both your team and your guests. We hope this guide sparks some inspiration and gives you a clear starting point on how to use key Nucleus features to plan and promote your events.

HTML, everyone’s favorite universal language

By Julia, Deliverability Expert

The absolute coolest thing, among many other impressive things, about HTML coding is that it is almost a completely universal language. This means it can be understood by anyone who comprehends the code, regardless of its origins.

In short, the coding will be compatible with any content platform, no matter where it comes from. And, yes, that does mean you can use any other HTML-coded documents from past-used systems in the Nucleus platform.

There is one catch, though… Many email marketing platforms find value in the use of variables to pull custom information within the HTML as it helps to reach people on a more individual level… without having to manually send thousands of customized emails. Examples of this custom data would be a recipient’s first name or email, and other bits of personal information.

In these cases, the variable codes may differ slightly between platforms. That simply means that it is important to find and replace any variables with the proper ones so they function properly.

For instance, on Nucleus, we use the following variables very frequently:

PROTIP: you can actually find these located at the bottom of our html-coding-email-builder function:

These are very incredible tools as they can be crucial to your marketing technique but it is important to always remember to use the codes that are compatible with your platform.

This prevents us from sending wonky subject lines like “Hello, %%FIRSTNAME%%!”

These variables are usually very similar to the ones you are using, so just locate and replace any that you found. Most platforms, like our own Nucleus, will not even let you send when there is an error in the variables or coding so hopefully you will not encounter this issue anytime soon…

For example, just for the first name variable, I’ve seen some of the following variable codes:

• %recipient.first%
• %%FIRSTNAME%%
• %NAME%
• {{RECIPIENT.FIRST}}

…and there are way more than that! Always be on the lookout!

By Julia, Deliverability Expert

For those of you familiar with MySpace, you probably weren’t aware at the time but you were actually preparing for a future in email marketing.

HTML coding is one of the most commonly used methods to design and develop promotional email content. And, while we make it super easy to avoid here at Campaign Nucleus, it can’t hurt to learn the basics…

HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language and it is a type of coding that defines the structure of your content.

Rarely in this day and age do we have to start our HTML coding from scratch, but the basic commands can always come in handy for fundamental understanding even when we are just altering a previously-coded document.

First and foremost, it must be known that the entirety of the code is defined by opening and closing tabs:

Open tab: < >

Closed tab: < />

Our open tab begins a command and our closing tab completes a command.

Below are some commonly used commands to get you started:

Now, let’s put it all together…

HMTL coding = Formatted Content

Seamless setup. Clear guidance. Faster time to launch.

Running a campaign or managing an organization is no small feat—but your tools shouldn’t make it harder. Whether you're launching a local city council race, powering a nonprofit initiative, or juggling multiple clients as a political consultant, Campaign Nucleus is here to help you work smarter, not harder.

Yet, this burgeoning landscape can be challenging to traverse, and you might feel uncertain about why you should embark on this new venture. Here are some stats as to why you might want to shift your focus to social and influencer marketing. Over 4 BILLION people globally use social media; this makes up 59.9% of the global population and 92.7% of all internet users. 

That's a BIG audience to be able to reach! Within Social media are influencer campaigns that greatly refine your message or product to eager and highly engaged audiences. The average Infliucer campaign has an engagement rate of 4.2%, which is higher than traditional marketing or advertising. Products and messages pushed by real individuals/influencers are 60% more trusted by viewers, leading to more sales. In fact, 87% of consumers have reported that an influencer's recommendation has influenced their purchasing decisions. Social and influencer marketing is also incredible for improving your audience engagement and brand awareness, creating more loyal and interested supporters. So you heard the WHY but still need the HOW to get started with this avenue. Here is our advice to you!

As most of you know, we pride ourselves on giving you and your team an all-in-one platform for all your wants and needs and ensuring you have the resources, operations, and knowledge to grow outside our platform.

See what influencer marketing can do for you!

One of the most popular and valuable features of the Nucleus platform is its landing pages. Our landing page builder is designed for ease of use and exceptional versatility. In online marketing, landing pages are essential for turning visitors into leads, customers, subscribers, donors, and more. However, different landing pages serve different purposes, and to meet various objectives, you can create a range of landing pages. In this blog post, we'll delve into the most common types of landing pages and how to use them effectively.

Lead Capture Landing Page

These pages are designed to collect contact information from visitors who arrive after clicking on a specific link. The main purpose of a lead capture page is to transform potential customers into leads by offering them something of value in exchange for their contact details. By opting into your email list, these leads can be nurtured with valuable content and targeted resources over time until they are ready to make a purchase. As an email marketer, lead capture pages play a pivotal role in your overall strategy, serving as a foundational element of your email marketing efforts.

Tips for creating:

• Clear Call to Action: Use a strong and clear call to action that encourages visitors to follow through with the form.
• Remove Distractions: Keep the page simple, focusing on the form and the offer, making it as easy as possible to sign up.

"Get Started” Landing Page

After a visitor finds your click-through landing page appealing and expresses interest in your product, service, or mission, the next step is to guide them to a "Get Started" landing page. This page is designed to move the visitor closer to conversion by encouraging them to take action.
The 'Get Started' landing page content should feature a clear and compelling call-to-action (CTA) such as 'Sign Up Now,' ' or 'Create Account.' It's important to emphasize that the CTA should be prominently displayed and easily located, ensuring the visitor's next steps and making the process feel guided and not overwhelming.

For example: If your candidate or organization has a landing page on your website or a link to one in an email that says if they sign up or subscribe to something, then they will get a 10% off code for your merchandise store.

“Unsubscribe” Landing Page

The 'Unsubscribe' landing page, often overlooked but crucial, is one of the most frequently used and significant landing pages for anyone sending emails or messages to contacts. This page, though seemingly insignificant, is your key to maintaining compliance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and international spam laws. Neglecting it could lead to severe consequences, potentially jeopardizing your business's reputation and legal standing, so ensure it's prominently displayed. Your unsubscribe link should be easy to spot—think neon signs and bright arrows (okay, maybe not that flashy, but you get the point). Keep it clear so your recipients can opt out of future messages without a hitch. These helpful landing pages are usually found in the footers of marketing emails and in the opening or closing notes of texts.

Event registration landing page

The last landing page we will explore today is an event landing page. Event landing pages can hold a lot of information and functions. Think of it like a digital poster or flyer you’d see for events; it needs to be eye-catching while also displaying brief essential information for the event. Whether it is for a webinar series, speaking at a conference, a charity dinner, or a rally, you'll need to inform people about the event and give them the opportunity to join. This is where an event landing page is put to use!

Tips:

- Ensure your headline grabs a visitor’s attention and clearly states the event's name and purpose.

- Brief description of what attendees can expect and the benefits from joining.

- Essential details such as the event's date, time, and location, as well as any special features or speakers to build anticipation and excitement.

“About Us” Landing Page

Yep, it is exactly what it sounds like! This type of landing page is one of the best ways to connect with your visitors on a personal level and win their trust by sharing your brand's or candidate's story/mission! You can share your origins, motivations, goals, and more, giving potential supporters a real sense of who you are. Sharing your goals and journey helps them understand you or your organization more deeply. Higher trust leads to better engagement and support towards your mission.

I'm sure you've either sent or received a text today. Most of us can't even imagine a world without texting in it! So why not tap into one of the most used forms of communication for marketing purposes since most Americans (97%) have a mobile phone, 85% of which are smartphones, and (92%) are text messaging? So what is P2P messaging, and why should we care? This blog will explain P2P text messaging, how it works, and why you should take advantage of it!

P2P stands for Peer-to-Peer text messaging, which is personalized texting between individuals. So, how does this differ from other texts? Unlike the mass texts you may receive from shops you've purchased from, things you have subscribed to, or from a group or organization, P2P involves direct communication.

How does it work?

In Peer-to-Peer (P2P) messaging, the network directs data directly from one user to another, ensuring the conversation remains private. This method promotes personalized, one-on-one interactions, unlike traditional bulk texting. And yes, P2P mobile communications are entirely legal and compliant with all FCC regulations, provided they are used responsibly and not for commercial solicitation.

How and why to use it

Many organizations use P2P texting, including political parties, fundraisers, event organizers, nonprofits, and advocacy groups. However, this is not limited to these groups. One of the biggest strengths of P2P is the level of personalization it creates, allowing the recipient to feel more of an intimate connection. It allows for one-on-one interaction, creating more of a bond with the recipient and the brand or mission portrayed in these texts, making them highly more likely to contribute meaningfully. By customizing the content of the text message according to the recipient's preferences, demographics, or past interactions, the chances of their engagement and response are greatly improved.

By tailoring the content of the text message based on the recipient's preferences, demographics, or past interactions, the likelihood of their engagement and response significantly increases. This level of customization helps senders achieve their desired outcomes, whether it be increasing sales, driving website traffic, gathering feedback, or motivating a particular action. Critical practices for P2P texting campaigns should include establishing clear goals and objectives and Segmenting your audience.

As you can see, P2P texting offers many benefits, including personalized communication, high open and response rates, flexibility and scalability, cost-effectiveness, real-time feedback and insights, excellent deliverability, and increased conversion rates. Nucleus partners with top providers to give you and your team the best options for your operations. Now is the perfect time to leverage these tools and reach your target audience effectively with Nucleus!

Final Thought

Tech shouldn’t just be for big players. At Campaign Nucleus, we believe the tools to change minds and move people should be accessible, affordable, and easy to use.

If you’re a small team with a big mission, we’ve got your back.

Making the small talk count

I have mentioned the importance of not solely producing content with a “Call to Action” for your subscribers. These types of requests can range from contributing a donation, making a purchase, signing up or subscribing to pages, joining groups, attending seminars, and so many other things. Sometimes… your recipients just need some validation that they are valued before they contribute anything to your cause.

This type of content is especially important during the warming phases of an email marketing campaign, as it helps retain satisfied recipients and foster stronger relationships. By providing valuable, informational content without a direct call to action, you focus on nurturing the relationship and building trust with your audience, rather than pushing for an immediate conversion. This approach allows recipients to engage with your brand on their own terms, creating a more organic connection and improving brand loyalty, which ultimately helps strengthen your sender reputation and boosts long-term deliverability.

With that in mind, it can be difficult to think of ways to produce this type of content. I am here to help!

Before we begin, it's important to remember that readers typically have a short attention span. This means we should avoid overloading our emails with too much information. Instead, we can break up the content into smaller, easy-to-digest pieces across multiple emails. This not only helps ensure recipients fully absorb the valuable information but also allows you to create a series of emails, which will be useful as you scale up your sending audience during the warming process.

Now… onto the topic of content.

Below, you can find some great prompts to use when creating these value-driven emails:

• Mission Statement
  • What is the primary mission of your organization?
• Financial goals (without asking for contributions)
  • What types of programs/uses are funds allocated to?
• Leading Values
  • If there are multiple values, these can be spread among various emails
• Testimonials/Stories
  • Any related personal stories (i.e. volunteer experiences, funding success, company origins, etc.)
• Company Updates
  • Any recent success or changes within the company
• Newsletters/Educational Resources
  • Informational content that may directly impact your users
• Leadership Introductions
  • Allowing your recipients to be familiarized with your team leaders
• Community Impact
  • Expressing any recent community initiatives and exceptional accomplishments
• Ethical practices
  • Ensuring all subscribers are aware of certain key values and practices
• General Gratitude
  • Simply thank those who have chosen to support your cause thus far

I hope this has given you a bit more insight into how you can leverage different types of emails to drive success, even when you're not focusing on a direct call to action. By strategically using informational and value-driven content, you're able to engage your audience in a way that builds trust, fosters relationships, and keeps them invested in your brand. Remember, sometimes the most powerful emails are the ones that simply inform and educate, allowing you to nurture your audience without the pressure of pushing for immediate action.

Political campaigns don’t have time for disconnected systems, clunky workflows, or software that only solves one part of the job.

A lot of political campaign software forces teams to piece together multiple tools just to manage basic operations—one for CRM, one for email, one for events, one for landing pages, one for automations, and another to try to make sense of the data after the fact.

That’s not efficient, and it’s definitely not built for the pace of a real campaign.

Campaign Nucleus brings it all together in one connected platform.

From supporter data and outreach to websites, events, automations, and reporting, Nucleus is built to help campaigns move faster, stay organized, and operate from a single source of truth.

Built for Real Campaign Operations

Campaign Nucleus gives political campaigns the tools to actually run the full operation—not just one slice of it.

That includes:

• CRM and supporter profiles • email and outreach • websites and landing pages • event registration and management • automations and follow-up • audience segmentation • reporting and analytics

Instead of stitching together disconnected tools, your team can manage communications, engagement, and campaign activity in one place.

That means less manual work, cleaner data, and a much better workflow across the board.

Better Than the Typical Political Tech Stack

A lot of organizations don’t realize they’re not actually comparing one platform to another—they’re comparing one connected system to a stack of tools that were never really designed to work together.

That’s where Campaign Nucleus stands apart.

Instead of relying on multiple disconnected vendors to manage your campaign, Nucleus gives your team one platform built to support the full operation—from outreach and websites to events, data, and automation.

How Campaign Nucleus Compares

One Platform. Better Execution.

Campaign Nucleus helps campaigns simplify their tech stack and operate more effectively across the full campaign lifecycle.

Instead of bouncing between disconnected systems, your team gets one platform built to support:

• smarter outreach • cleaner data • stronger event execution • faster launches • more connected operations

That’s what makes Nucleus more than just another political campaign software option.

It’s what makes it the better one.

Ready for a Better Political Campaign Platform?

If your current setup feels fragmented, limited, or like it’s creating more work than it should, it’s probably time for something better.

Campaign Nucleus gives political campaigns a more connected, more capable, and more scalable way to operate.

Seamless setup. Clear guidance. Faster time to launch.

Running a successful political campaign requires more than just a compelling message — it takes people. Volunteers are the backbone of any campaign, powering everything from phone banks and canvassing efforts to digital outreach and in-person events.

Political campaigns don’t have time for disconnected systems, clunky workflows, or software that only solves one part of the job.

A lot of political campaign software forces teams to piece together multiple tools just to manage basic operations—one for CRM, one for email, one for events, one for landing pages, one for automations, and another to try to make sense of the data after the fact.

That’s not efficient, and it’s definitely not built for the pace of a real campaign.

Campaign Nucleus brings it all together in one connected platform.

From supporter data and outreach to websites, events, automations, and reporting, Nucleus is built to help campaigns move faster, stay organized, and operate from a single source of truth.

Built for Real Campaign Operations

Campaign Nucleus gives political campaigns the tools to actually run the full operation—not just one slice of it.

That includes:

• CRM and supporter profiles • email and outreach • websites and landing pages • event registration and management • automations and follow-up • audience segmentation • reporting and analytics

Instead of stitching together disconnected tools, your team can manage communications, engagement, and campaign activity in one place.

That means less manual work, cleaner data, and a much better workflow across the board.

Better Than the Typical Political Tech Stack

A lot of organizations don’t realize they’re not actually comparing one platform to another—they’re comparing one connected system to a stack of tools that were never really designed to work together.

That’s where Campaign Nucleus stands apart.

Instead of relying on multiple disconnected vendors to manage your campaign, Nucleus gives your team one platform built to support the full operation—from outreach and websites to events, data, and automation.

How Campaign Nucleus Compares

One Platform. Better Execution.

Campaign Nucleus helps campaigns simplify their tech stack and operate more effectively across the full campaign lifecycle.

Instead of bouncing between disconnected systems, your team gets one platform built to support:

• smarter outreach • cleaner data • stronger event execution • faster launches • more connected operations

That’s what makes Nucleus more than just another political campaign software option.

It’s what makes it the better one.

Ready for a Better Political Campaign Platform?

If your current setup feels fragmented, limited, or like it’s creating more work than it should, it’s probably time for something better.

Campaign Nucleus gives political campaigns a more connected, more capable, and more scalable way to operate.

From Insight to Action: How EyesOver + Campaign Nucleus Give Campaigns a Real Advantage

Modern campaigns don’t struggle because they lack tools.

They struggle because too many decisions are still made without visibility into what voters are actually thinking — right now.

Polling snapshots arrive late.
Engagement metrics tell you what already happened.
And messaging decisions are often made before sentiment shifts are visible.

That’s where the integration between EyesOver and Campaign Nucleus changes the game.

Together, they connect real-time public sentiment directly to campaign execution — turning insight into action inside one workflow.

The Problem: Campaigns Are Forced to React Too Late

Most campaign operations follow a familiar pattern:

• Build a message
• Push outreach
• Review performance after the fact
• Adjust once results are already visible

The challenge?
By the time performance data shows a shift, momentum has often already moved.

Campaigns need to understand what’s changing before it shows up in polling or engagement reports — not after.

What EyesOver Adds to the Equation

EyesOver analyzes real-time public sentiment across digital conversations, identifying how opinions, emotions, and narratives are moving as events unfold.

Instead of waiting weeks for traditional feedback, campaigns gain visibility into:

• Emerging issue sentiment
• Shifts in intensity or concern
• Narrative movement across regions or demographics
• Early indicators of momentum — positive or negative

This doesn’t replace polling.
It complements it — by filling the gap between static snapshots and live public reaction.

What Campaign Nucleus Already Does Best

Campaign Nucleus is built to handle execution at scale.

From data and audience management to outreach and targeting, Nucleus provides the infrastructure campaigns rely on to operate efficiently and compliantly.

But execution is only as strong as the strategy behind it.

That’s where EyesOver integrates seamlessly.

What Happens When They Work Together

When EyesOver is integrated within Campaign Nucleus, campaigns gain a closed-loop decision system:

Insight → Strategy → Execution → Adjustment

Instead of guessing what message to send next, teams can:

• Validate messaging direction before launch
• Prioritize outreach based on real sentiment movement
• Adjust targeting as opinions shift
• Allocate resources where momentum is forming
• Respond faster to breaking narratives

All without leaving the Nucleus ecosystem.

This turns campaign operations from reactive to proactive.

A Smarter Feedback Loop

With Nucleus + EyesOver, campaigns move beyond static planning and into continuous optimization.

• Sentiment informs strategy
• Strategy shapes outreach
• Outreach is refined based on live public response

Not weeks later — but in near real time.

The result is greater clarity, faster decision-making, and fewer missed opportunities.

Why This Matters Now

Campaign environments move faster than ever.

Narratives shift in hours, not weeks.
Voters respond emotionally before they respond behaviorally.
And campaigns that wait too long often end up chasing momentum instead of shaping it.

EyesOver gives campaigns visibility.
Campaign Nucleus gives them control.

Together, they create a decisive advantage.

Running a successful political campaign requires more than just a compelling message — it takes people. Volunteers are the backbone of any campaign, powering everything from phone banks and canvassing efforts to digital outreach and in-person events. But finding, organizing, and training those volunteers can quickly become a logistical headache if you don’t have the right tools.

That’s where Campaign Nucleus comes in.

Our platform is designed to streamline every aspect of your campaign’s operations, including volunteer management. Here’s how you can use Nucleus to recruit, organize, and activate your volunteer team with maximum efficiency.

1. Recruit with Email and Texting Tools

Finding great volunteers starts with reaching the right people at the right time. Campaign Nucleus lets you do exactly that through its powerful, built-in email and texting tools.

• Targeted outreach: Segment your existing supporter lists to identify those most likely to volunteer — like super voters, previous supporters, or recent event attendees — and send personalized invitations to get involved.

• Automated follow-ups: Set up automated email or SMS sequences to follow up with interested individuals, ensuring no one falls through the cracks.

• Mobile-first communications: Meet supporters where they are — on their phones — with quick texts asking for event RSVPs or help with upcoming campaign tasks.

2. Centralize Volunteer Data

As you grow your volunteer base, Campaign Nucleus helps you stay organized by storing all supporter and volunteer data in one place. You’ll be able to:

• View volunteer sign-ups in real-time

• Track past participation and availability

• Record skills, interests, and contact preferences

This centralized approach allows your team to manage volunteer shifts, tasks, and assignments without juggling spreadsheets or multiple systems.

3. Train and Mobilize with Events

Once you’ve built your volunteer team, it’s time to get them campaign-ready. With Nucleus’ event management tools, you can schedule and run volunteer trainings, canvassing days, and more — all from the same platform.

• Create custom event pages for trainings and community events

• Send automated invites and reminders via email or text

• Track RSVPs and attendance in real-time

You can even follow up after the event to keep your volunteers engaged and ready for their next assignment.

4. Keep Volunteers Engaged

The key to retaining great volunteers is consistent communication. With Nucleus, your campaign can stay in touch with volunteers through newsletters, updates, and recognition campaigns — all designed to keep morale high and energy up as Election Day approaches.

Ready to Build a Winning Volunteer Program?

With Campaign Nucleus, organizing your volunteer efforts doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Whether you're running for local office or managing a statewide campaign, our platform helps you recruit, communicate with, and mobilize volunteers — all in one place.

Building highly targeted audience universes has traditionally required complex segmentation logic, layered filters, and technical expertise. For many organizations, creating the right audience meant spending hours manually configuring demographic criteria, engagement history, geographic data, and behavioral filters — often across massive datasets.

The new Nucleus AI Universe Builder changes that entirely.

Designed to simplify advanced audience creation, the AI Universe Builder allows users to create sophisticated targeting universes simply by describing the audience they want in plain English. Instead of navigating complicated filtering systems or writing advanced logic, users can now build powerful audience segments through natural conversation.

Build Audiences Using Natural Language

At the core of the AI Universe Builder is a conversational AI-powered interface that translates everyday requests into advanced targeting logic automatically.

Users can type prompts such as:

• High reliability voters age 56+
• Boomers based in the Northeast
• Inactive donors who attended an event last year
• Subscribers in key counties who engaged with recent emails

Behind the scenes, Nucleus converts these requests into structured segmentation rules, audience filters, and targeting logic in real time.

This means teams no longer need to understand SQL queries, complicated demographic structures, or deeply nested filter systems to build advanced audiences.

Faster Workflows, Smarter Segmentation

The AI Universe Builder was designed to help organizations move faster without sacrificing precision.

Key capabilities include:

• Conversational AI-powered universe creation
• Real-time filter generation and audience previews
• Automated demographic and voter targeting logic
• Guided prompts and smart suggestions
• Faster audience creation workflows
• Accessible advanced targeting for non-technical users
• Smarter segmentation across large datasets and CRM records

By reducing manual setup time and simplifying the segmentation process, teams can focus more on strategy, outreach, and activation rather than operational complexity.

Built for Campaigns, Advocacy, and Nonprofit Teams

For political campaigns, advocacy organizations, nonprofits, and membership-driven teams, audience targeting is critical — but often time-consuming.

The AI Universe Builder enables organizations to identify and activate highly specific audiences in seconds instead of spending hours manually configuring filters and targeting logic.

Whether teams are trying to re-engage inactive supporters, identify key voter groups, or build segmented outreach campaigns, the tool makes advanced targeting significantly more accessible across the organization.

Making Advanced Data Operations More Accessible

The launch of the AI Universe Builder represents another major step forward in Nucleus’ mission to make advanced data operations more intelligent, accessible, and actionable.

By combining AI-driven conversation with sophisticated backend targeting logic, organizations can now unlock enterprise-level segmentation capabilities without requiring deep technical expertise.

Building highly targeted audiences has traditionally required complicated filters, layered segmentation rules, and technical expertise that can slow down campaign execution and audience management.

The new Nucleus AI Segment Builder changes that completely.

Designed to simplify audience creation, the AI Segment Builder allows organizations to create powerful CRM and email segments using simple natural language prompts instead of manual rule building and advanced filter logic.

Instead of spending time navigating complex targeting systems, users can simply describe the audience they want to reach — and Nucleus automatically generates the segmentation logic behind the scenes.

Create Audiences Using Natural Language

The AI Segment Builder makes advanced audience targeting dramatically easier by allowing teams to build segments conversationally.

Users can create audiences using prompts such as:

• “Donors in Florida who opened our last 3 emails”
• “Volunteers who attended an event in the last 12 months”
• “Inactive subscribers in key swing counties”

Nucleus instantly converts these requests into advanced segmentation logic, eliminating the need for manual filter building or technical setup.

Built Directly Into CRM and Email Workflows

Built directly into both the CRM and Amplify Email tools, the AI Segment Builder helps organizations create more targeted audiences faster while improving workflow efficiency across teams.

By integrating segmentation directly into existing campaign and communication workflows, organizations can move from audience creation to outreach much more quickly.

Key Capabilities

The AI Segment Builder includes a wide range of intelligent audience targeting features, including:

• Natural language audience creation
• AI-powered segment logic generation
• CRM and email module integration
• Advanced AND/OR targeting logic
• Smarter audience filtering without manual rule building
• Faster campaign setup and workflow execution
• Improved targeting precision for outreach and engagement

These capabilities help organizations build smarter campaigns while reducing the learning curve associated with advanced segmentation tools.

Accessible for Every Team

One of the biggest advantages of the AI Segment Builder is accessibility.

This release was designed to make advanced segmentation significantly more approachable for organizations of all sizes — from experienced data teams to users who may not feel comfortable building highly technical audience filters manually.

Instead of requiring deep technical knowledge, the platform allows teams to focus more on campaign strategy, messaging, and supporter engagement while Nucleus handles the complexity behind the scenes.

Powered by AI

Powered by advanced large language model technology, the AI Segment Builder represents another major step toward more intelligent, AI-assisted campaign and organization management inside Nucleus.

By simplifying audience creation and automating advanced segmentation logic, organizations can work faster, target more effectively, and execute campaigns with greater precision and efficiency.

The future of audience targeting isn’t about building more complicated filters — it’s about simply describing the audience you want and letting AI do the heavy lifting.

The campaigns winning right now aren't guessing — they're targeting. 

Organizations today are overwhelmed with disconnected systems, delayed reporting, spreadsheets, and manual workflows that slow down decision-making and limit operational visibility.

The new Nucleus MCP Server changes that completely.

Designed to connect AI directly to organizational operations, the Nucleus MCP Server allows teams to interact with their CRM, supporter records, engagement activity, audiences, events, and operational data in real time through conversational AI and intelligent automation.

Ask questions. Get answers. Take action — instantly.

No exports. No disconnected dashboards. No waiting on reports.

One Interface. Full Nucleus Context.

The MCP Server gives organizations direct AI-powered access to the data they already manage inside the Nucleus platform.

Teams can now:

• Pull live reporting and operational insights instantly
• Access CRM, supporter, donor, and engagement data in real time
• Analyze campaign performance without manual exports
• Build smarter audiences and workflows using first-party data
• Surface actionable intelligence faster across teams and departments
• Connect AI directly into organizational workflows and operations

This creates a significantly more intelligent and operationally connected way to work with campaign and organizational data.

Ask Questions. Get Real Answers.

Organizations can interact with their Nucleus environment conversationally using natural language prompts.

Examples include:

• “How many inactive donors opened an email in the last 90 days?”
• “Which supporter segments are most active right now?”
• “Which campaigns drove the highest engagement this month?”
• “What events generated the most volunteer signups?”
• “What does our high-engagement audience universe look like?”
• “Show the full activity history for this supporter.”

Instead of spending time building reports manually, teams can move directly from question → insight → action.

Powered by First-Party Data

The MCP Server is built around the power of an organization’s own data — not disconnected third-party datasets.

Connected data sources include:

• CRM and supporter records
• Email engagement and subscriptions
• Events and registrations
• Audience universes and segmentation
• Donations, memberships, and supporter actions
• Internal operational workflows

Every interaction stays connected directly inside the Nucleus ecosystem for stronger visibility, faster access, and smarter operational intelligence.

Why MCP Server Matters

For campaigns, nonprofits, advocacy groups, PACs, and enterprise communication teams, this means:

• Faster reporting
• Better operational visibility

Political campaigns don’t have time for disconnected systems, clunky workflows, or software that only solves one part of the job.

A lot of political campaign software forces teams to piece together multiple tools just to manage basic operations—one for CRM, one for email, one for events, one for landing pages, one for automations, and another to try to make sense of the data after the fact.

That’s not efficient, and it’s definitely not built for the pace of a real campaign.

A tale of how hard work (eventually) pays off

By Julia, Deliverability Expert

When we are in a court of law, we are hopefully paying regards to the phrase “innocent until proven guilty.”

Well… when it comes to servers responding to your sending domains and IPs, it is quite the opposite. You must prove your domain to be worthy of delivering to your recipients without an existing precedent… sometimes before you can effectively deliver at all.

Now that the campaigning cycle is coming to another end, this is a great opportunity to work toward preparing your domains and IPs for the most success when the cycle begins picking up again. I think the most important take-away here is: PREPARE your sending domain BEFORE YOU NEED to send with it.

I want to take a few minutes to review how pre-emptively preparing your sending domains can be beneficial to you in months to come.

It takes TIME to scale your domain up to your full sending volume. By getting an early start you are able to avoid rushing the warming process, which could cause you to have blocks and trouble with deliverability.

Even after you’ve scaled to full sending volume, it takes TIME for a server to trust you. Servers are constantly watching how their recipients are engaging with your emails & designated a reputation to your domain/IP based off that response. The only way to continuously improve your reputation, especially on Google and similar servers, is for your audience to be consistently positively engaging with your emails. This means the same users repeatedly engaging with your emails, so sending to only new recipients constantly is actually very poor practice.

And it takes TIME for your audience to recognize and engage with your content. This is a great opportunity to focus less on ads and asks, and more on branding and informational content. It can be extremely valuable to produce very non-controversial content that includes little to no ‘call to actions.’ This type of content generally performs much better in the eyes of the server so it can help you to build your reputation up a bit so you have a buffer when you do want to send more hard-hitting content.

Many of the questions I regularly receive are concerning how quickly we can fully scale a domain & the truth is… there are so many things at play when you are preparing a new domain/IP for sending that the best thing you can do is get a head start. There are very few issues I’ve seen not be able to solved with a little time and persistence.

Have you ever heard the term “seed list” used? Well… we’ve been using this term a lot over here at Campaign Nucleus & we are excited to introduce seed list usability as one of our newest in-platform features.

So, firstly, what is a seed list? This is a list of emails that you have internal access to in order to be on the receiving end of your email sends.

Our email team has found that generally seed lists are not a great representation of inbox placement – this is because, after a few sends, the inbox will start to replicate personalized behavior rather than that of other inboxes with the same server. With that in mind, our team has found a lot of value in using email lists comprised of internal team members to help kickstart our email engagement with new or struggling domains/IPs.

Team members can be instructed to positively engage with these emails. In doing so, we can begin building up a good domain reputation from the very first day of sending so that we are able to find more success with deliverability and inbox placement.

I'm sure you've either sent or received a text today. Most of us can't even imagine a world without texting in it! So why not tap into one of the most used forms of communication for marketing purposes since most Americans (97%) have a mobile phone, 85% of which are smartphones, and (92%) are text messaging? So what is P2P messaging, and why should we care? This blog will explain P2P text messaging, how it works, and why you should take advantage of it!

P2P stands for Peer-to-Peer text messaging, which is personalized texting between individuals. So, how does this differ from other texts? Unlike the mass texts you may receive from shops you've purchased from, things you have subscribed to, or from a group or organization, P2P involves direct communication.

How does it work?

In Peer-to-Peer (P2P) messaging, the network directs data directly from one user to another, ensuring the conversation remains private. This method promotes personalized, one-on-one interactions, unlike traditional bulk texting. And yes, P2P mobile communications are entirely legal and compliant with all FCC regulations, provided they are used responsibly and not for commercial solicitation.

How and why to use it

Many organizations use P2P texting, including political parties, fundraisers, event organizers, nonprofits, and advocacy groups. However, this is not limited to these groups. One of the biggest strengths of P2P is the level of personalization it creates, allowing the recipient to feel more of an intimate connection. It allows for one-on-one interaction, creating more of a bond with the recipient and the brand or mission portrayed in these texts, making them highly more likely to contribute meaningfully. By customizing the content of the text message according to the recipient's preferences, demographics, or past interactions, the chances of their engagement and response are greatly improved.

By tailoring the content of the text message based on the recipient's preferences, demographics, or past interactions, the likelihood of their engagement and response significantly increases. This level of customization helps senders achieve their desired outcomes, whether it be increasing sales, driving website traffic, gathering feedback, or motivating a particular action. Critical practices for P2P texting campaigns should include establishing clear goals and objectives and Segmenting your audience.

As you can see, P2P texting offers many benefits, including personalized communication, high open and response rates, flexibility and scalability, cost-effectiveness, real-time feedback and insights, excellent deliverability, and increased conversion rates. Nucleus partners with top providers to give you and your team the best options for your operations. Now is the perfect time to leverage these tools and reach your target audience effectively with Nucleus!

Have you ever been put in a situation where you were at an event with some of the most sensitive people in the

world & you are just trying to get through the night without offending anyone in your conversational

encounters?

Literally, I hope you haven’t. BUT figuratively… this is actually a pretty good representation of your situation when you are sending emails to recipients and their affiliated servers.

Not only are the servers sensitive, but they are also all sensitive to different topics. For example, Google may hate talking about people dying, while Verizon may hate the mention of “BIG Tech.” It gets tricky to avoid offending ALL the servers. If your recipient list contains recipients from all email servers, you do not have to avoid offending one server but rather ALL the servers. 

Unless you’re “on the inside” & working with a server, it would be impossible to know and identify all the possible spam triggers in your copy and subject lines. 

Before you panic, there are a couple of tricks we can use to prevent the overuse of triggering phrases and words.

1. Almost EVERY server hates the act of “overpromising”

a. Avoid phrases like “100% guarantee” or “We promise you WILL NOT regret this!”

2. Do not be afraid to try the “nicer route”

a. This means using wording or phrases that implies a nicer connotation

i. For example, “passed away” sounds way better than “died tragically”

ii. “Weaponization” sounds a bit worse than “armed” or maybe “fortified”

One major point to be aware of is that the servers do not go through and read every email; instead, they have features in place set to look for triggering phrases and words. All this means is that, with a bit of creativity, we can avoid the brunt of censorship within these servers.

When you are choosing your subject line & content for emails, be sure to keep these tips in mind. While we are against the idea of censoring the important information that you are sharing, our email servers do not always feel the same. It isn’t fair, but until it is in our control, we will continue to work toward fully canceling the cancel culture.Please join us in achieving this goal!

Just kidding… but if you aren’t annoyed by those graphics & sentences, I can 100% ensure that your recipients and the servers are!

Let’s review what went wrong here…

1. Lots of strange fonts
2. Overuse of font colors, bolding, underlining, & italics
3. Over-promising
4. Too many graphics
5. TYPOS

Email servers respond incredibly poorly to the majority of marketing techniques used in the example above.

When it comes to our marketing emails, we really want to avoid being overly obnoxious. This can be done when we:

• Attach too many files or pictures to an email
• Use illegible fonts & text colors
• Have ANY typos
• Make promises we cannot keep (i.e: “100% guarantee,” “never again,” etc.)

At Nucleus, we understand that we want to catch our viewers’ attention with our emails…

we just have to make sure we make it into the inbox first!

From Insight to Action: How EyesOver + Campaign Nucleus Give Campaigns a Real Advantage

Modern campaigns don’t struggle because they lack tools.

They struggle because too many decisions are still made without visibility into what voters are actually thinking — right now.

Polling snapshots arrive late.
Engagement metrics tell you what already happened.
And messaging decisions are often made before sentiment shifts are visible.

That’s where the integration between EyesOver and Campaign Nucleus changes the game.

Together, they connect real-time public sentiment directly to campaign execution — turning insight into action inside one workflow.

The Problem: Campaigns Are Forced to React Too Late

Most campaign operations follow a familiar pattern:

• Build a message
• Push outreach
• Review performance after the fact
• Adjust once results are already visible

The challenge?
By the time performance data shows a shift, momentum has often already moved.

Campaigns need to understand what’s changing before it shows up in polling or engagement reports — not after.

What EyesOver Adds to the Equation

EyesOver analyzes real-time public sentiment across digital conversations, identifying how opinions, emotions, and narratives are moving as events unfold.

Instead of waiting weeks for traditional feedback, campaigns gain visibility into:

• Emerging issue sentiment
• Shifts in intensity or concern
• Narrative movement across regions or demographics
• Early indicators of momentum — positive or negative

This doesn’t replace polling.
It complements it — by filling the gap between static snapshots and live public reaction.

What Campaign Nucleus Already Does Best

Campaign Nucleus is built to handle execution at scale.

From data and audience management to outreach and targeting, Nucleus provides the infrastructure campaigns rely on to operate efficiently and compliantly.

But execution is only as strong as the strategy behind it.

That’s where EyesOver integrates seamlessly.

What Happens When They Work Together

When EyesOver is integrated within Campaign Nucleus, campaigns gain a closed-loop decision system:

Insight → Strategy → Execution → Adjustment

Instead of guessing what message to send next, teams can:

• Validate messaging direction before launch
• Prioritize outreach based on real sentiment movement
• Adjust targeting as opinions shift
• Allocate resources where momentum is forming
• Respond faster to breaking narratives
