Do Not Do This When Emailing Your List
Jason McKinney
When you decide to have an opt-in list, there are are many things you must consider to avoid complications. While there are many different ways you can get people to subscribe to your list, there are also a few things you must do to keep the people on your list.
Aside from that, you also want to avoid any problems with the law and your internet service provider or ISP. There are now many laws and rules that are applied to help protect the privacy of the internet users from spamming and unwanted mails. With the popularity of the electronic mail as a medium for marketing because of the low cost, many company's have seized the opportunity and have flooded many people's e-mail accounts with promotional mail.
But, with an opt-in list, you avoid this annoyance because people subscribe to the list; they want to receive the newsletters and promotional materials. They have consented to being on the list by subscribing themselves, just don't forget to put an unsubscribe feature everytime in your opt-in list so that you avoid any confusion. There may be times when an email account was provided when the real owner didn't want to subscribe.
You must always keep your new opt-in list clean and manageable. Arrange it by using the many tools and technologies available by your list provider. And remember, your investment in this marketing strategy will be well worth it. With all the coverage you will get this will convert into sales and finally profit.
Make sure you keep yourself out of trouble and potential run-ins with your ISP and the law. Keep your operation legit and clean. Your reputation as a legitimate businessman depends on your being a straight and true marketing strategist. Here are three things you must avoid when emailing your list:
1) Take notice of your unsuccessful sends. These are the e-mails that bounce. Bounced emails, also known as undeliverable messages, are those messages that, for whatever reason, were not successfully received by the intended recipient.
There are bounces that happen or occur because the server was busy at that time but can still be delivered in another time. There are also bounces because the inbox of the recipient is full at that time. There are those bounce messages that are simply undeliverable ever. The reason for this is that it may be an invalid email address, a misspelled email address, or an email address that was abandoned and erased already.
Manage your list by putting markings on those that bounce. Erase an email account from your list so that you have an accurate statistics and records as to how many are actually receiving your mail. You may also want to check the spellings of your email addresses in your list. One common mistake is when an N instead of an M is placed in the .com area.
2) Always have an unsubscribe link on your site and in all your emails. When someone in you list wants to unsubscribe, take them seriously. If you do not remove them from your list and you keep sending them emails then you are sending them spam and can end up of the wrong side of the law.
If you are reported as a spammer, you and your business can get into a lot of trouble. You can be reported to the authorities and can also be blacklisted by many different ISPs. You will lose a lot of subscribers this way and many more potential subscribers.
3) Do not ever provide any pornographic or disturbing content in any of your newsletters. It is always hard to determine the actual age of the person(s) receiving your email and many complaints may stem from these. Controversial issues should always be avoided also so that you are not branded by your subscribers. Always remember to stick to the nature of your site and business.
Always keep the tips in this article in the back of your mind so you can have a good relationship with your subscribers. Always stay within the boundaries of what is allowed when you send an email to your list.
