FAQs

What is BIMI?

BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification) is a new email specification that puts brands in control of how their logo appears within supporting email clients. Simply put, BIMI allows companies to tell inbox providers what logos they’d like to appear in customers’ and prospects’ inboxes rather than just letting the inbox provider display generic avatars or the company’s initials.

Why should email marketers care about BIMI?

Marketers are always looking for ways to stand out in the inbox and BIMI represents a massive opportunity for marketers to grow brand awareness and customer engagement. Being able to control your logo when sending emails, newsletters, receipts, offers, etc., is invaluable. It’s similar to having the perfect, consistent vanity URLs and display names across social media profiles – it’s low-cost but shows consistency, conveys trust, and increases recognition and reach.

Initial pilots have shown an increase in engagement by an average of 10% when inboxes display trusted brand logos next to email messages– and that’s on top of the average 10% increase in deliverability that DMARC at enforcement already provides.

What are the prerequisites for implementing BIMI?

To be BIMI-ready, your organization must have taken all of the steps necessary to implement a DMARC enforcement policy of p=quarantine; pct=100 or p=reject – thus being protected against spoofing to the highest standard out there today. After you’ve done all the groundwork getting to DMARC enforcement, organizations can build off of their DMARC protections by implementing BIMI.

You may be required to obtain a Verified Mark Certificate (VMC), also known as a BIMI certificate, from a certificate authority. Valimail and DigiCert have partnered to offer one-stop shopping for getting BIMI ready, with DMARC monitoring and automation from Valimail and VMC issuing from DigiCert creating a one-stop-shop.

Which providers support BIMI?

Valimail is a founding and leading member of the working group developing BIMI protocol, and its availability has taken a big leap forward as Google announced general support for BIMI in 2021. As BIMI adoption continues to grow globally, BIMI support includes several major inbox service providers like Verizon Media Group (Yahoo, AOL, Netscape), Fastmail, and recently joined by Apple Mail.
