0.46 spam rate from Mailchimp

5 replies
I received a notice that i'm being watched. In a very niche market, B2B I have sent this list of 2400 many times. I only offer a opportunity to join the industry FB private page and a teaser to a video on online marketing to my website. I usually have a 30% open and a 3-5% click through. Should I worry?

    I am new to email marketing but I believe I just read something about complain rate being .5 % or less being about normal. I think that is what you are saying right?

    Anything over 0.1% is abnormal.

    Should you worry? They wouldn't have emailed you if it wasn't a problem.

    Where did this list come from? The way you describe it implies that it wasn't people that requested information from you directly originally.

      Thanks for some inside info from someone with intimate knowledge of this, so I have a question. If I use aweber- and I do, and I have a double opt in- and for whatever reason someone decides to mark an email as spam, since they opted in- does aweber still consider that message a spam email? Just curious

    Hey...is this 0.46 spam rate normal..or abnormal...I mean was it just for a few of your emails or are you usually flirting with something that high...

    gotta admit...it feels high....I am usually around .03 complaints...my open rates and click rates are similar to yours....

    Hey BlindBiz, how are things? If the email came from MC, then maybe worry? I would make sure to download your list, although I'm sure you already have. Worse case scenario, import list to another email auto responder. Personally, I 've never been a fan of the chimp.
