It definitely sounds like a lot of emails in my article. But let's say you never engage with the service. You might receive 2 in 2 months and then never hear again. Smart, not abusive.
While I mentioned reminders often as it's easiest to describe, "Teach me something new." is exactly right. Engaging mailers should offer help, tips and such.
- ay 15y agoI would agree with AznHisoka. Periodic mails are like shouting in the room to gain attention. When everyone else is quiet, it works like a charm. The others pick up this trick. Soon no-one can hear anything, and those who do not want to be disturbed, wear earplugs ;-) That's precisely what I did with my Gmail account when it became near-unusable after I used for several signups for startup services which I eventually was not interested in - just signed up to try out. Someone send me an email that does not pay me back with something useful for the minute of the attention I spend reading it - I create a filter to send it to 'adware' folder, which rarely, if ever, gets read. This is of course my personal behavior, which may or may not be more typical.
- cdcarter 15y agoBe nice to newsletter statistics, unsubscribe.
- ay 15y agoWhy ? I've already paid with my attention to the mails that I did not need. But more than that - in more than one case my attempt to unsubscribe gave zero results. Once I even had an exchange with a human person, who promised "oh of course we will remove me". And that did not happen. So why would I invest my time into further attempts ? I'll just use the solution that works.
