Contact the National Direct Marketing Association. They can assist you.
Hello,
I personaly do not know the exact answer to your question… But, i do know of a great place you can go to find the answer… And any other question you have for any business vinture you take.
Its called the "Worrior Forum". It is a place where business people on and off the internet hangout. You can ask almost any question ( you must follow the rulls) and have it answered, As well as answer questions.
This is a great resource.
I put the link in the "source box".
Oya, it free
Enjoy!
Not spam = If you're offering to post everywhere and not on just one site.
Spam= If you e-mailed me one link to post on then Id think youre trying to 'sell' or advertise that website.
Personnally if I got an e-mail like that from you I would not think it is spam. I'd welcome the opportunity you are offering for you to promote my business everywhere - if you do it for free. I'd welcome it if you did not automatically provide a random link for me to click on. If you did that then I'd think you're spamming for me to use specific site only.
Now others would see it as spam missing out on the opportunity for their business to be promoted elsewhere and not in just one spot.
The syaing goes: 'You never know until you try'. It's fine.
Well there is a fine line between real email marketing and spam. No matter what rules are broken in this kind of marketing. Harvesting emails are from robots but not if your site gathers them, allow people the option unsubscribe if they would like.
Get a business email and maybe even try those email campaign sites so you have a less likely chance of it looking like spam. Free emails accounts are usually the biggest source of spammer emails.
How would you say you can help me advertise my business if you don't even know how to do email campaigns.
