Challenges • Spam filter technology evolving to block access to the target audience • Message overload • People receive more and more commercial emails from different sources • Over communication can lead to desensitization of our message and possible unsubscribes • Legal constraints protect recipients from spam emails when they unsubscribed. • The CAN-SPAM Act, a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have you stop emailing them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.
Solutions • Target audience accurately • Segment audiences for special messages (vertical, country, type…) • Eliminate Duplicates • Frequency of communication • Coordinate multiple campaigns • Increase the effectiveness of messages • Consolidate message template • Localize messages to specific audiences • Legal compliance • No communication with unsubscribers
