December 17, 2014 No Comments

As email became the marketing tool of this century, I often thought my fellow ESP’s (Email Service Providers) would benefit from a customer Black List. Most ESP’s, including Dundee Internet, vett prospects before we put our reputation on the line, so to speak; a customer Black List would make that process a whole lot easier. With an industry specific Black List, we could know all about our new potential customers:those that didn’t pay their bills, reversed credit card payments or worst yet are SPAMMERS.

September 19, 2014 No Comments

Sending SPAM for profit is a big business. SPAMMERS are notorious for getting their messages out no matter what the cost. They hop from ESP to ESP – burning bridges as they go. They are known to recruit anyone they can with a computer to send their SPAM for them. Haven’t you seen the offers to send mass email from your home computer for cash?

On a scale of 1 to 10, how do you rank your email campaigns? Do you believe they are in the top ten and should have an excellent rating or do you rank them on the bottom of the scale, poorly rated with only a sometime average ranking?

March 19, 2014 No Comments

A Transactional email, is defined as an email sent in response to an action such as “Thank You For Your Purchase” when a purchase has been made. A Transactional email, normally sent automatically (e.g. triggered email based on the action taken by the customer) contains information relevant for only that customer. Sending a Welcome Letter when someone joins your marketing list or an order confirmation with items and shipping details are two examples of transactional emails.

Unsubscribes Happen

February 13, 2014 No Comments

Does your Marketing email contain the same message over and over again, sending to the same list of people, over and over again? Most likely, your message changes, with fresh content and the right call to action, ideally the call to action will get the right response from your list subscribers. The right response doesn’t include unsubscribing, but unsubscribes happen. You can’t stop them so why make it difficult when someone is saying “I want off you list”. Most people will generally opt-out of permission email for the same reasons: Your Messages Lack relevance You send too often Your recipient
