In our last episode, we talked about the importance of allowing your mailing list users to “opt-in” to your newsletters, etc.
In it he says:
If I don’t ask for Fries, I don’t get fries.
If I don’t ask for extra butter on my popcorn, I don’t get extra butter.
So why is it, when I give you my business card I get automatically subscribed to your eNewsletter? I didn’t ask for it. The value of your crafted eNewsletter is gone – because I’m not going to look.
I commented on his post:
I agree Josh, although I also know the temptation to add everyone I meet to my mailing list when the list is young, and needs growth.
I think that’s the “downside” of the ease of social marketing is the ease of social marketing. Hard to get past all the “fluff” and show people you really have something to offer.
I’d love to read your comments, thoughts and ideas about this. Please leave your comments below on this, or any post on our site!
