Boost Email Engagement By Showcasing Your Logo in Gmail, Yahoo, and Other Email Clients

With DigiCert’s Verified Mark Certificates (VMC), organizations typically see a 10% boost in email engagement rates on average. They’re a powerful new tool designed to help brands grow while offering improved protection from scammers and phishing attempts.

VMCs display a company’s verified logo next to the “sender” field in the recipient’s inbox, providing brand consistency and recognition that promotes growth. They’re an easy way to build trust and increase customer interaction, as users are much more likely to open an email when they see a logo they know and trust. DigiCert VMCs make your communications stand out from the rest, giving you an edge in a crowded inbox.

VMCs also fight phishing. Considering 75% of organizations around the world experience a phishing attack, the added protection of VMCs is critical. In addition to the verified logo, VMCs require DMARC implementation, which helps businesses protect both themselves and their customers.

VMCs are a win for everyone involved. Get started today and mark your words with the power of a verified logo.

How It Works

There are a few prerequisites that must be in place before an organization can be issued a VMC, which are listed below. No need to stress, though – when you go with The SSL Store™ for your VMC, you’ll get a dedicated Implementation Specialist to help expediate the validation process and guide you every step of the way.

Before you can start using your VMC, you’ll need to:

  • Be DMARC compliant. More specifically, the DMARC record for your domain must be set to either “p=quarantine” or “p=reject”. If you aren’t sure about your domain.
  • Have an officially registered logo. VMCs are available for both private organizations and governments. Government agencies must present a law or government record granting their logo. Private organizations must have their logo registered with one of these intellectual property offices:
    • United States Patent and Trademark Office
    • Canadian Intellectual Property Office
    • European Union Intellectual Property Office
    • UK Intellectual Property Office
    • Germany: Deutsches Patent- und Markenamt
    • Japan Trademark Office
    • Spanish Patent and Trademark Office O.A.
    • IP Australia
    • Intellectual Property India
    • Korean Intellectual Property Office
    • Brazil: Instituto Nacional da Propriedade Industrial
    • French Bureau de la propriété littéraire et artistique
    • Benelux Office for Intellectual Property
    • Denmark Ministry of Culture
    • Swedish Intellectual Property Office
    • Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property
    • Intellectual Property Office of New Zealand
  • Format your logo file correctly. It must be a square and in the SVG image file format.
  • Purchase your VMC. The certificate authority will then validate your organization and logo.
  • Publish a BIMI DNS record for your domain. This tells your email server which image file to display as your logo.
  • Your logo will automatically display in Gmail, Yahoo, and other participating email clients.
