Sorry to hear that you're having E-mail...Hi Helen,<br /><br />Sorry to hear that you're having E-mail marketing woes.<br /><br />What I find interesting here is that these are 2 companies that actually have real contact details - and are traceable. They are responsible not just to SpamCop - but to be in compliance with EU and UK Data Protection and Distance Selling regulations. <br /><br />And in this vain - I find that most of these companies actually have an opt-in (somewhere) for each e-mail address. Here's my suggestion.<br /><br /> ""Trust through transparency""<br /><br />In every direct mail communication ( including e-mail, postal mail, telemarketing or other ) it is required to identify the date, time, place and circumstance in which the opt-in permission was obtained. <br /><br />If I accidentally filled out a form and gave my permission - tell me when and where<br />If I am one of your existing customers - remind me of my customer care contact details.<br />If I filled out a form and checked the box to allow marketing from "our trusted partners" - then you must tell me the partner company. <br /><br /><br />All of this would have the effect of "cleaning up" the data brokering / list brokering business and lead to much more credible - and respectful - and responsible direct marketing.<br /><br />What do you think?<br /><br /><br />TroyTroy Norcrosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00594552903577531070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622928.post-38095238662922298252009-04-29T12:15:00.000+01:002009-04-29T12:15:00.000+01:00Well, we share your Frustration Helen.
thats why ...Well, we share your Frustration Helen.<br /><br />thats why I use Spamarrest, but sadly that doesn't help neither, as a lot of legitimate emails got trapped (people don't read/respond to the challenge email)..<br /><br />and yes, I just got a complaint when I was last in Hong Kong, when the Chairman of Asia of a big private equity firm told me off as he said spamarrest is the worst spammer of all as they emailed him a few times.. <br /><br />I guess there is no winner/solutions to our spam filled world!?? or is there?<br /><br />@GarethWongAI Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12854317820351017773noreply@blogger.com
