Yes. To me E-mail marketing = Spam. If I need your product I'll look for it.
I don't get quite enough advertising form billboards, radio, tv, banner ads, t-shirts, and snail-mail marketing. I sure enjoy a bunch of unsolicited junk in my email account. Yeah! When I get unsolicited E-mail, I make note of the company, and try to never purchase any of their products or go to any of their events. -----Original Message----- From: Jeffry Houser [mailto:jeff@;farcryfly.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2002 9:30 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Mass email marketing I'll ask a different question. Is E-mail marketing viewed as being different than SPAM? How about unsolicited E-mail marketing? Do people feel differently if contacted a single time by a legit business with a valid return E-mail address than if they are contacted by some porn site with a hotmail / yahoo account? I have an associate who is starting a recording studio business and E-mailed a bunch of local bands unsolicited. I was given the impression he got a good response from that. When you vote on the CFDJ reader awards, and select "do not contact me" checkbox and they go ahead and contact you anyway, does that constitute SPAM? ( It happened to three friends who were nice enough to vote for my book in the Best Book category ) On Halloween, I deleted all of my SPAM deletion filters under the assumption they weren't working. Since then I started creating new filters, that move everything SPAM into a SPAM folder. I have received 248 SPAM messages since Halloween. I created 112 filters just for SPAM domains.
