Are you missing the opportunity to go global? When more than 70% of the world’s 2.3 billion Internet users are not native English speakers—and 85% of Internet users don't make purchasing decisions unless they can access information in their native language, relying on English for all your messaging may be holding you back. We’ll provide practical tips and real‑world examples to help you solve design challenges, address code considerations, and learn the techniques for sending localized campaigns. Big thanks to Ros Hodgekiss and Elliot Ross!

You may not notice this if you have a small audience in China, but if you have a substantial list in China, you will see a lot of bouncing. Return Path Sender Score Certification can help (Return Path is very knowledgeable about the email market in China in general as well), but you may want to utilize an ESP inside of China. They will tend to have stronger, more direct and personal relationships with the ISPs which will help.
