Irritating right? How did they get your email address? In this case, communication starts already on the wrong foot and you risk going through <b>spammer<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Let&#039;s not consider the fact that we are very wary of considering any kind of offer from a stranger.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The rule therefore is (or should be):<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\"><b>Do not send emails without first receiving the recipient&#039;s consent<\/b><\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Creating your own email list is essential for a company because it allows you to establish a very personal communication with a potential customer. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The posts on social media scroll quickly, an email remains in the inbox of our contact until he decides to read or delete it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The question that many are therefore asking is:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>I buy an email list and start sending (spamming) messages to everyone without distinction<\/strong> or do I send newsletters only to those who are interested and have expressly given their consent to receive my communications?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Many would obviously choose the first option, which is simpler and more immediate. But <strong>what are the risks<\/strong>?<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Users especially in Italy hate spam so what you risk is damaging the image of your company. Furthermore, if the user reports your email as spam, you also risk ending up in the <b>spam blacklist<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Spam could become serious business. Providers like Gmail and Hotmail use powerful spam filters (perhaps too much) and in the most extreme cases these systems could even block your account. For this reason it is very important to send newsletters to those who have expressly asked to receive them, especially to have a higher opening rate and therefore a higher ROI. Buying contact lists and spending money on spam is not a good idea.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Using a well-built list improves recipient participation. Those who signed up spontaneously are more likely to read the emails you send.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The creation of an email list is an operation that must certainly be included in a long-term corporate marketing strategy, considering the fact that a good percentage of addresses are, over time, lost due to unsubscriptions or inactive users.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For this it is good to always keep a clean database with active addresses. In the event that you decide to use external lists purchased or of dubious origin, remember that:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Using these lists increases the risk of spam reports with consequent repercussions on your sending servers (SMPT server)<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">The value of a list is not in the number of contacts, at least not only, but above all in the rate of opening, clicks and conversion<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Stress on the list. If these email archives are used too much with too frequent sending, there is a risk of unsubscribing recipients.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Discover our newsletter service <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digife.it\/en\/professional-newsletter-ferrara-bologna-padova-rovigo-smtp-authenticated\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>\u00a0and also read the article on newsletters <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digife.it\/en\/email-wwwsletter-pec\/email-marketing-has-lost-its-effectiveness\/\">here<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EMAIL MARKETING - CONTACT LIST HOW TO BUILD THE RIGHT LIST You won&#039;t be one of those who only care about page views or having many ...<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":28819,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[129,59],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-28817","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-email-wwwsletter-pec","8":"category-notizie"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.digife.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28817","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.digife.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.digife.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.digife.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.digife.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28817"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.digife.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28817\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.digife.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28819"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.digife.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28817"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.digife.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28817"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.digife.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28817"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
