Email Advertising Campaign

Yesterday I talked about how advertising can be a good thing or can go way over board and then be considered as spamming by your clientle. Let’s look today at how to keep your email campaign healthy without turning it into spam.

Email campaigns can be very useful tools in the industry of Internet marketing. These campaigns may involve sending periodic e-newsletters filled with information as well as advertisements, short, informative email courses or emails offering discounts on products and services.

Loyal customers who opt into your email list will likely not view these emails as spam and may purchase additional products and services from your business as a result of this marketing strategy. Additionally, potential customers who have specifically requested additional information on your products and services will also find this type of marketing to be useful.

However, email recipients who did not request information are likely to view your emails as spam. Harvesting email addresses in a deceptive manner and using these addresses to send out mass emails will likely always be considered to be spam.

Many affiliate programs will ban you from their programs if they learn that you are sending spam email as a marketing techinique, so, to keep you affiliate business alive stay clear of anything that might be considered spamming.

Tomorrow we will look at advertising on message boards. Yes, there is a right way and a wrong way!
