Your Questions About Email Marketing Lists
Lisa asks…
Anyone ever use email marketing?
I have been trying to research ways of increases sales to my site. I see these sites like emailmarketinginnovation.com etc but wonder if I would even see a 10 percent increase. Any experience????
Jere answers:
Email marketing is very hard these days because of spam laws. There are lists that you can buy from companies that have opt-in lists. This means that people have opted in or give permission for you to send them advertisements.
If you’re just starting out, this is where I would begin my email marketing campaigns. There are many other ways of marketing but too much to explain in this post.
Do your research and I’m sure you’ll do just fine.
Good Luck,

How to do Email Marketing?
Jere answers:
As you know email marketing is very important part for your business to keep in contact with your existing clients.
A lot of people mistaken Email Marketing with Spam. With email marketing you will be sending news, product special etc… To your existing customers or an opt-in email list.
In order to get started you can either find companies online that offer this kind (Constant Contact) of services or contact local web designers. Most of those service will offer pre-designed templates you can chose from and you can simply insert your sales message.
Hope it helps. 🙂

Daniel asks…
Technical requirements for email marketing (30k+ subscribers)?
How do those email marketing companies (eg: icontact.com, constantcontact.com) work from a technical standpoint? Do they need multiple servers to prevent messages from bouncing back from the receiving server? I manage my own email list of customers and have trouble emailing them through my own domain because the receiving server say’s we’ve sent too many emails to their domain.
Thanks for reading
Jere answers:
30.000+emails is a bit much…
… Most “businesses” with email lists that big are spammers. If you’re not – in other words: your business is legitimate – contact the ISP that is blocking you in person, and explain the situation, so you can have your servers white-listed.
Ken asks…

Jere answers:
U.S. Can-spam laws forbid marketing to email addresses you have no prior relationship with, for that reason and to maintain low complaints and high deliver-ability rates Aweber does not allow you to transfer email lists, their provided sign up form insures that you establish a proper voluntary relationship before mailing to them, Aweber prefers and gives a default double-opt-in where by a candidate has to reply to an initial email confirming they had signed up and not someone else misusing the email address.
There was one site offering up to 1 Billion email addresses for a price, sounds like the sort of thing those Russian spammers would utilize. Claiming them to be opt-in emails, I suspect they were scraped, etc.
Some of the email services, maybe Constant Contact allow you to add emails, perhaps a small number at a time.
