Your email address isn't working

7 replies
So today, I just got the email with the above title and it read:

Barbara

I sent this to you last week and it doesn't
look like you got it?

==>> product link

Is your email working ok?

Call me old-school, but such tactics ensure I will *never* click on your links to buy at all. I despise lying!

Grrr........

    Hahahaha.. That is quite funny.

    This email will get as many clicks as the one sent by a Nigerian prince needing you to supply bank details for a few million dollars.

    That's why I keep my email reader set not to display images by default. Also why I use spamcop, even though that is somewhat ineffective, it gives my some satisfaction

      I'd rename this thread "Yet another way to be a useless marketer and lose subscribers fast".

        Absolutely agreed. I also agree with the person who said it's kind of like the Nigerian scam artists.

      It also made him unsubscribe after. :p

      It's one thing getting someone to open the email but at least be clever and don't look like your so full of s*** you'll burst, as soon as the emails open.

      Anyone who thinks getting people to open the email is the only thing that matters has missed the whole point.

      If I was selling widgets, door to door, I could get you to the front door by chucking a brick through your window. You would however be unlikely to buy my stuff when you got to the said front door.

      Same thing really.

        Unless you were in the business of storming castles, y'know....
