Before reactivating dormant CRM contacts, a quick audit protects your sender reputation and makes your outreach far more effective. Here is how to audit a dormant list responsibly.
Check data quality
Remove hard bounces, obvious role addresses, and clearly invalid records. Clean data means better deliverability and fewer wasted sends.
Honour opt-outs and consent
Suppress anyone who previously unsubscribed and only contact people who came in through a legitimate channel. Consent is both a legal and reputational safeguard.
Segment and check sources
Group contacts by where and when they came in so your message can be relevant. Recency and source tell you a lot about how to approach each segment.
Audit checklist
- Remove bounces, duplicates, and invalid records.
- Suppress prior opt-outs.
- Confirm the original opt-in source.
- Segment by recency and source.
