I find that emails like that have the opposite effect and push me away from products/services. If the product/service was useful to me, those emails would not be required to keep me engaged.
- ams6110 13y agoGlad I'm not the only one who feels that way. My rules are simple: 1. Don't ever email me unless it's in response to a specific request initiated by me.

- Mister_Snuggles 13y agoThat's very true. Perhaps what turns me off are the desperate "Please come back to $SERVICE, you've been gone for more than 35 seconds! Please come back!!" from the free services. I don't mind the weekly specials from the local computer retailer, for example.
