I have 1 yahoo account and thinking of having few more for marketing purpose so that I don't get spam emails. Is it ok. do they allow?
I think they do, I myself have 2 yahoo account. One is for my personal and the other is for business emails.
You can have up to 10! "You are allowed up to 10 alternate email addresses per Yahoo Account. If you do not have 10 email addresses currently on file and are still being prevented from adding any, it's because you may have recently deleted one. The 10 email address limit includes current email addresses and recently removed email addresses."
If you want to do email marketing, you will have little or no success if you use a Yahoo email address. To give your business a sense of credibility you should use an email address linked to a domain name. Also you should only send emails to people who have opted-in. Otherwise you will have many people who flag your emails as "junk mail". A lot of flagging will lead to your emails automatically ending up in the "junk mail" folder rather than the "inbox". So people will not even take you seriously.
So we better use email with own domain name if you want to do email marketing, what if we use Gmail ?
If you are a business and use a gmail address, I would not feel that you are trustworthy. Anybody can create a gmail account, and how can I know that the address is really used by business and not somebody else?
This is the reason why Google is great because you only need 1 account to access all the products of Google so why creating so many accounts if 1 is enough for your brand's reputation.
Absolutely! I personally prefer Google, but you can make another yahoo account with no problem. However, if you want to make an account for email marketing only, I believe that the best option would be to create your own domain with an email address linked to it. This will make your account look trustworthy and serious.
i am managing two as well. one for managing logging in fb/quora/amazon/flipkart and all that have got all the reasons to fill my inbox with spam and other for my business mails only.
Oh, yeah you can have multiple yahoo accounts. I have several for different reasons, but I am not trying to conduct business out of nay of them. They are mostly so I can find what I need quickly when it comes time to find it.
