Is Your Email Getting Through

On average 15 subscribers won't get their TIP issues because they are blocked in some way by email filters.
You may be having the same difficulty, so should know about triggers that may cause email filters to delete your email:
* First 8 characters of the 'From' address are digits
* Subject contains "advertisement" or "adv"
* Body contains "money back"
* Body contains "cards accepted"
* Body contains "spam removal instructions"
* Body contains "extra income"
* Subject contains "!" & Subject contains "$"
* Subject contains "!" & Subject contains "free"
* Body contains ",000" & it contains "!!" & it contains "$"
* Body contains "Dear friend"
* Body contains "for free?"
* Body contains "for free!"
* Body contains "Guarantee" & "satisfaction" OR "absolute"
* Body contains "more info" & "visit" & it contains "$"
* Body contains "SPECIAL PROMOTION"
* Body contains "one-time mail"
* Subject contains "$$"
* Body contains "$$$"
* Body contains "order today"
* Body contains "order now!"
* Body contains "money-back guarantee"
* Body contains "100% satisfied"
* To address contains "friend@"
* To address contains "public@"
* To address contains "success@"
* From address contains "sales@"
* From address contains "success."
* From address contains "success@"
* From address contains "mail@"
* From address contains "@public"
* From address contains "@savvy"
* From address contains "profits@"
* From address contains "hello@"
* Body address contains "mlm"
* Body address contains "@mlm"
* Body address contains "///////////////"
* Body contains "check or money order"
* Body contains "click here" or "click below".
Most of these don't apply to our business, but some of them are common in financial communications, and may be why your email didn't reach its intended recipient(s).

Re: Email Marketing - Yes, true. What kind of changes happened in Email campaigns except the opt-in? Finding the exact target and reaching them is always a challenge. What new methods can we have to reach the new customers? Thanks Robert
Re: Email marketing strategy - Email Marketing is successful only when you get a good list of targeted people. However, some people consider it as spam. It can work wonders for you if you have selected the appropriate list of people.
Re: The Best Method for Online Marketing - Email marketing can be very successful there's little doubt about that. But you need to build a solid list of subscribers and build a strong relationship with them. It's all about give, give, give, and then you can promote something. Takes a lot of patience and hard work but it can definitely be worth it later on.
