The Subject Line is killing me, HELP!!
My autoresponder sends out the Confirmation Request with this subject line:
Your Subscription Request - Confirmation Required
Problem is that I tested this with 10 different email addresses and 9 went straight to the Spam Folder. Tech Support tells me there is NO way to change the subject line of a confirmation request.
Obviously, I hate to lose signups because my email went into a Spam Folder but I can't change the subject line.
Two questions:
1) When an opt-in is submitted I can return the person to ANY web page I want. Should this page have lengthy instructions as to how to receive my email by whitelisting me? The confirmation will probably beat any changes the receiver MIGHT make to accept my email so this could be a moot point.
2) I will have the email address of the "Unconfirmed Prospect" so should I send him/her an email after a few days suggesting they check the Spam Folder to confirm their request? Is that tacky?
BTW, if you use an autoresponder what are your thoughts as to what percentage goes in the Spam Folder and what is an acceptable number for unconfirmed?
Thanks for the help,
Tom
