Implementation
- Get Your Mark Certificate
Start by purchasing a mark certificate. This is the first step towards enhancing your brand’s visibility in email communications. - Enroll and Upload Your Logo
Complete the enrolment process by uploading the logo you’d like to display in your emails. Take your time to ensure it accurately represents your brand! - Choose Your Hosting Option
Decide whether you’d prefer Digicert to host your logo or if you’d like to manage it yourself. This choice gives you flexibility based on your preferences. - Validation Process
Next, you’ll need to complete the validation process. This includes both EV (Extended Validation) and logo validation, which are crucial for ensuring your brand is recognised and trusted. - Create Your BIMI DNS Record
Once validated, you’ll create and add a BIMI DNS record for your domain. This record should include the URL to your certificate and the URL to your logo. It’s an essential step in making sure your logo appears in inboxes. - Implement DMARC Enforcement
Ensure you have a DMARC record set up for your domain, with enforcement set to either quarantine or reject. Bear in mind that without this requirement met, your logo won’t display, making this a critical step.
