Company Profile

Who are Recurate?

Recurate is a full-service resale platform that gives brands the recommerce technology and strategic support needed to participate meaningfully in the circular economy.

After more than a decade at the intersection of retail and sustainability, Recurate’s co-founders saw an industry growing exponentially faster than traditional retail and recognized the gap: brands needed a practical way to make resale both easy and profitable. Recurate was founded in 2020 to solve that challenge with world-class leadership, deep ecommerce experience, and a sharp focus on creating a superior resale experience that feels native to each brand.

Their platform integrates with major ecommerce backends and helps brands shape the look, feel, and functionality of resale so customers stay inside the brand ecosystem instead of leaving it.

Deliverability Pressure Points

The Challenge

Recurate needed stronger email delivery performance and better protection for sender reputation. Three pressure points created the biggest drag on inbox placement.

01

DMARC Monitoring

Recurate needed stronger domain authentication oversight so legitimate mail could be trusted and protected from spoofing risk.

02

IP Reputation Monitoring

Maintaining a healthy IP reputation was essential for inbox placement, especially as email volume and engagement patterns evolved.

03

Email Content Optimization

Subject lines, body copy, and formatting all needed refinement to reduce spam risk and lift engagement across campaigns.

Response Architecture

The Solution

InboxWizards worked with Recurate over the course of a year to strengthen the technical and strategic foundations of their email program.

01

Implemented DMARC Authentication

We implemented DMARC alongside SPF and DKIM to authenticate Recurate’s sending domain, reduce the likelihood of spam classification, and protect the brand against phishing and spoofing threats.

02

Improved IP Reputation

InboxWizards monitored bounce rates, spam complaints, and blacklist signals; recommended dedicated IP usage where appropriate; and helped segment traffic by engagement to improve trust with recipient servers.

03

Optimized Email Content

Working collaboratively with Recurate, we refined email content structure, subject lines, and formatting to improve message quality, reduce filter friction, and support stronger engagement.
