Has anyone been blacklisted for spam?
I am sending out massive marketing emails. Unsolicited. So that makes them spam. But they're not. Anyone ever run up against a brick wall with this?
Man, emails are monitored like you wouldn't believe. It's a catch-22. There are companies (MailCheat(Chimp), AWeber, Constant Contact) that will manage a drip marketing email campaign IF a customer signs up by entering their name and email to receive the emails/promotions/newsletters. But how do you let these people know about this is the first place?
I'm sending out "spam" that includes incredible incentives. Free consultation - Free nine page article just for signing up - $100 off any service ordered. It's hard to sweeten this offer more than it is. The article is a very professional article containing a TON of information that I should be selling on Amazon for $4.99 a pop. I'm giving it away free. Along with a new article, equally as valuable, every week.
I've had two people request to stop sending them emails (opt OUT). That baffles me. You give them the kitchen sink, and they spit on you. Yes, I kind of take this personally...
I do appraisals. If you ever get a bad appraisal (for a purchase, sale, or refinance) you're in a big pile of crap. What do you do? Everyone has an opinion, but nobody really knows. I've been doing this for 20 years, and I do know. My article is: "Strategies to Deal With a Low Appraisal." It could save hours - tens of thousands of dollars - and prevent you from pulling your hair out. It's inside information. And I'm giving it away. Free. I'm starting to think I'm stupid...
Correction - actually, I knew that already.
Well, I'm being about as well received as a used car salesman. And on top of this "inside information" I'm giving a $100 discount to sweeten the pot even more. And I offer free advice and consultation.
Shit - are people this hard to please everywhere? Or am I in "spoiled brat land?" This information took me years to accumulate.
I'm about ready to withdraw this entire marketing campaign and let these fools figure everything out for themselves.
Now I find out that people can flag my overly generous offer emails as spam, and I can be blacklisted. Hmmmmmmmm.
Any feedback is appreciated. At least HERE, I know I have access to great thinkers.
BTW - the people I am marketing to are no dummies. Attorneys and realtors. And not just any of them - I am targeting the best of the best.
