Do you have a business where you do not have a strict email collection policy in place? How do you exactly collect emails? There many ways different ways to collect email addresses. We all know that buying large email lists doesn’t always work and you can quickly have your email distribution accounts shut off if people feel like they are being spammed by you. Email marketing is very effective if approached correctly.

Some people quickly forget that one of the easiest and best ways to collect anything is to simply ask. if you are a service based business and you speak with many prospects over the phone ask them if you can put their email address on your distribution list. They will either say yes or no, its that simple. most potential customers will not yell at you and most will be more than happy. If you conduct your email campaigns the right way and you don’t use spammy type approaches than you should not have any problems with your email recipients reporting you for spam or hitting the spam complaint button. Too many of these and your account could be gone before it even started.

How about your website? Do you have somewhere prominently displayed on your website where website visitors can submit their email address to receive your newsletter? Have it visible for everyone to see right there when they land on your website. Make sure it is in the same location on every page also. This is important so a website visitor does not have to back track to find the page where they can sign up for your newsletter.
