You can send emails targeted to women with children. Or seniors. Or orthodontic and cosmetic patients. The possibilities are endless!

What Does “Bounced” Mean?


A ‘Bounced’ status means an e-mail message is undelivered and has been returned to Smile Marketing. This can happen for many reasons. Check for incorrectly formatted addresses and typos. If you don't find any mistakes, try obtaining a current email address from the patient.

To find your bounce list click on the Subscribers tab, then change the dropdown menu found above your subscriber list from "Active Subscribers" to Bounced.
