How to Mark Our Emails Safe

Email can end up being filtered into a bulk folder, spam or it can be blocked even though you want the email!  You can keep that from happening by adding our email address to your “Safe Senders” list. The following information will help walk you through the process.

First, confirm your email by clicking the link we’ve sent you. When you confirm your email address, you tell our email provider to prioritize your email. Bonus! You’ll get an additional freebie when you do so.

Next, tell your email provider that you want to see our emails. Here’s how you do it for the most common email providers:

  2. In the top menu, select “Create Contact”.
