Hi, I would like to suggest the creation of a new forum that will specifically be about Email Marketing,.
That's exactly what I was thinking... I don't even do the opt-in marketing, and the only person I that I actually know that has, was that one time I signed my brother up for 20 things because he owed me money, but I'm not sure that counts.
opt-in mailing lists are never really opt-in I have had to unsubscribe from so many mailing lists I never joined.
Unfair guys. There are lots of questions about the right tools, the right methods, the legislation. My husband uses a teeny bit of email marketing and it can be very effective. As for spam, well we've started getting fax spam variety and I know I'd rather get the email variety!
I would not say a lot... General Marketing is one of the places I hang out & I rarely see any questions. There ARE questions, just not many, not enough to warrant a new board for their discussion, at least not in my opinion. And while I may have been sarcastic earlier, I do feel it's a good idea (all ideas are good and I'm fluffy like that) but I don't really think it could hold it's own here on Digital Point.
I don't necessarily think there should be a new board - just rebutting that not all email marketing campaigns are about spam. And not all queries end up in General Marketing. Here are some that come to mind phplist phpmailer newsletter
