Question - Mailing Lists

Sep 04, 2004 6 Replies

Mainly for those of you who maintain a mailing list on your website:



Do you send updates *every* time you post new stuff, be it auction listings or website items? How do *you* play the mailing list game?



And for those of you who subscribe to mailing lists:



Doesn't it become annoying to be receiving updates every time a seller posts new items?



The reason I ask:



I send one update per week, usually on Mondays. Whatever I've made the week before goes on the website/eBay the following week. That's the way it works out most of the time.



However, sometimes I itch to get new items up as soon as they're ready to go, but I hesitate because I don't want to make a nuisance out of myself with more than one update per week.



Thoughts? Suggestions? Or am I taking this mailing list thing way too seriously? :)


If people sign up for update info, the it's not a problem to send the info when it's ready. If the people who signed up didn't want the info they wouldn't have signed up.

Just my opinion as a person who is signed up for a few artist's update newsletters.

I have to say I always love to get your updates, Fran. In particular. Real enjoyment. :-D

No you're not, you're a professional and should IMO.

If I sign up for a mailing list I expect and want to get them, Fran.

If the emails become annoying the person being emailed could always unsubscribe, right?

I just remembered what I want to suggest to you, Fran. I think you need to add an URL for your website in your email. IIRC, it's missing from your signature unless it's there somewhere and I'm missing it because I have my reader set for text only.
