Are there rules when you want to put your two cents in this Discussion List? Posted by Patricia Rountree on September 25 th , 2013 Discussion Lists are based on a group of people of like interests, using email to “discuss” their interests among one another. They are online communities without boundaries. Unlike the traditional announcement list, the discussion list facilitates two-way communication among its members as members can read all posts to the list and can reply to the topic at hand. Internet etiquette for email discussion lists covers acceptable online behavior for group communication: from ones manners to one’s action.  In fact, members or subscribers of most discussion lists expect fellow members to follow some sort of standard set of rules, rules that have been established by the Internet Community and rules that have been established by the list they joined. Rules are in place to keep things orderly: the greater the number of   u

On a properly configured discussion list an unsubscribe footer is always included; usually at the bottom of the post.   The unsubscribe footer is unique to each user and should never be included in a reply. Need to trim List members who are unaware of proper list etiquette may respond to a discussion list post by merely replying, inadvertently copying all the previous footers in the said discussion thread.  Therefore, the List Admin should educate their discussion list subscribers to trim their replies as a courtesy to the other subscribers.  In other words users should be trimming replies of extraneous text that is not relevant to the message topic…including the footer. Take the case of a list member who decided to unsubscribe herself from the discussion list she on.  She replied to the post  she was reading by asking how to unsubscribe from the list.  She either did not see the unsubscribe footer, did not trust it, or wanted everyone to know she wanted to leav

Quick Tips for this month only, the first 50 people reading this email marketing blog will learn the four key elements for incoming lead generation. I got your attention!  You’re reading this!   That's great considering I only used two of the four key elements in my title.  Imagine the response I would get if I used all four key elements for incoming lead generation!   Imagine the response you would get by using all four key elements, which by the way are: Number 1 - The Offer; everyone likes an offer and the more valuable the offer the better the response.    Offers come in many forms, eBooks, coupons, demonstrations to free consultations and online webinars.     The best way to create seductive offers: 1.       Make your offer scarce – something that is available to a selective few. 2.       Limit the time (this week only) 3.       Limit the Quantity (only 20 seats left for the webinar) 4.       Limit the time and the Quantity (the first 50 people who resp

In June, Yahoo announced their plans to recycle all of their inactive Yahoo ID’s (Yahoo email accounts) starting on July 15 th . If you have not logged into your Yahoo account for at least a year, and want to keep your Yahoo ID active, simply log into your Yahoo account by July 15 2013.

As an email marketer, do you walk that fine line of optimal sending frequency? Should you increase the rate of your email campaigns or should you send your email campaigns out less often?  Can you teach an old dog-new tricks , because, just like working with the dog,  the only way you're going to know if a sending frequency change works in your favor, is by trying it.

Can you teach an old dog new tricks? On the other hand, will any change in mailing frequency upset the apple cart ?  Will you be forgotten, out of sight out of mind , if you mail less? Will your newsletters be missed or will a decrease in mailings get your subscribers attention as absence makes the heart grow fonder , or does it? Should you increase your mailing frequency, hoping to  engage your subscribers more often?
