Do you use Safelists ?

I'm not really sure that I understand the question - sorry.

Safelists work for some, but not for most.

If you are going to try them then sign up to credit based safelists. These safelists operate on the basis that a member of the safelist must open your email and click on a credit link (usually located at the bottom of the email - to make sure that you have to scroll through the email to get your credits). The credit link clicked gives the member credits which enable him or her to send their own emails and offers to the list.

There are many variations on this credit based safelist theme.

If you are going to try, test and track results for this method of advertising then the best idea is to have an extremely attractive headline and then very short sharp copy in the email, so that once opened, your email will be so interesting, that it will be read and your link clicked (link always included above the fold), before the reader gets to the credit link at the bottom of the email and clicks on it to earn his or her credits.

This, in my opinion, is a system best employed using a link to a sign up page with a free gift to encourage a sign up to your mailing list.

Now building a list does not seem what you are looking to do here, but I thought that I would post, as I was not really clear (as I mentioned above) as to what you were really asking.

Just my thoughts.
