Shared IP

A sending IP used by many customers of a provider.

Most senders start on a shared IP pool. Reputation is collective: one bad sender can drag the pool down, but established providers actively manage their pools. Below 100k/month, shared IPs are usually preferable to dedicated.

Growth work lives or dies on targeting and measurement. What matters is whether behavioral triggers can be built without engineering time, whether the event stream supports attribution past the open, and whether deliverability holds when broadcast volume shares a reputation with product email.

Applied to shared ip, that means weighing scheduling, event stream, deliverability, and operating track record ahead of the rest, against behavior-triggered journeys, broadcasts, and winback campaigns measured on revenue.
