Question about list building
So i am sitting on a "list" of a few thousand customers where i know they are interested in IM and related products since they purchased my products.
The problem is, the customers have really not explicitly "opted in" so i am having a little dilemma.
I remember that i often get other emails from other marketers where i myself purchased something, emails which usually go like:
"Hi, XYZ here, you are receiving this email because you are a customer of mine/bought XYZ ...etc.." <- and then possibly promoting a new/related product to the existing customer clientele.
My dilemma is that i dont know whether i can use my "list" *at all*, even the above would be probably not allowed?
Or is there a way i can send out emails to my "list" and then ask people whether they want to sign-up for my newsletter/information..and then only use the people who signed up in this second step...basically making an "opt-in" list that way?
