Email Marketing is not always spam

19/8/2008

There is a thin line between relevant email, that adds value vs email that is treated as spam. Even well meant email can act as spam for many.

There are tons of us who hate spam of any sort and in turn refuse to adopt a non permission marketing technique to reach out to potential consumers. When you have a decent database of your own and a strategy to build on it, thats great.

But if you are a young startup, then you might just need the help of low cost email to tell people about your new launch. Don't hesitate in targeting groups which look like they might be interested. In my opinion, the key to avoid spam is to send valuable information just once to people.

For eg: I keep getting a message from a social network which says that a friend has invited me to join the network. That information is fine if it is sent once. Once I have declined to join the network, or just deleted the mail, I get a repeat mailer in exactly a week and once again a week after. Now that is painful.

So don't hesitate in sending out information once, but don't send the same/similar information out repeatedly.

Do share your experiences with email marketing or the world of spam.

Now-a-days where lot of automated email sending software or bots available so search engines also strict their rules to handle spam emails. With the passage of time email marketing is getting familiar and I am receiving more than 10 spam emails everyday even I unsubscribe from all the news letters or untrusted email services. But I am happy to see that these emails has some good aspects for business. Those people who don't know how to successfully launch their email marketing campaign should get professional email marketers advices before starting it who will not only provide important tips for writing effective email but also help to send it spam free manner.

I agree that the spammers make the email marketing a worst thought but there are so many great people who still making the best email marketing in an innovative way. If you directly communicate your message to the audience via emails you will lose the opportunity that you get from this email marketing. you can choose the indirect way to make the social media page and then instead of sending direct marketing and sales mails send a mail to join the page or group it will help you a lot.

Testing your email marketing campaigns and incorporating the results is the best way to improve campaign responses. As an email marketing vendor, we analyzed the results of several thousand email campaigns to get a better perspective of what works, and what doesn't work for business-to-business ("B2B") customers. We then distilled this down into a set of email marketing split tests to demonstrate a handful of interesting best-practices for email marketing in a Q and A format.
