Email Marketing Useless

[taki]

In my opinion email marketing is useless. So many people are using such aggressive spam filters now that virtually every message not on a while list is labeled spam. And I am glad of that personally. I get over 2000 spam messages on my Google email address a day and only 200 messages I really need to check out.

I dont agree with you, it is thecheapest way for promoting your projects. If you use good strategies then it does provide good results, just ensure that right people are targeted.

Yes email marketing is still the best option if you build your list carefully. Today auto responders make email marketing very easy to do. You just type 1 message and click submit. It will then be sent to everyone on your list.

There are pros and cons to email marketing in my opinion. Creating a targeted opt-in list can take a long time, but will go through with much less risk of it being considered spam. On the other hand, if you can't for some reason create your own list and think about renting a targeted opt in email list, how safe and accurate is it? What are the odds of the recipients considering it spam?

Anyone sending me a sales message that is not on my whitelist is already spam. This includes those sites that force you to give a emal address just to access a little content to see if your interested. fact is most of these jerks never quit sending you email even if you request it. So I just mark it all spam unless I have an active relationship with them.

This is 100% true. Email marketing is absolutely useless according to me. Because already people will receive it in the spam list. And they will be least bothered to read it. This will create a bad impression about the product among the users.

We cannot say that email marketing is totally useless. But then majority is a flop show. Because no body will really care to read the mails which has the header information regarding the product. So mostly they will send it to trash when seen. So if the mail can have a very different header and information inside, it may help in boosting the business.
