How many marketing emails is too many?

[steve B]

Five so far today from Steiner. A company I've never bought from, and am unlikely to buy from.

2 valentines

1 auction

1 baseball

1 football....


Guys, can you keep it to one a day maybe?

um, 1 is too many. especially from a company ive never bought from nor will. makes you wonder how/why you ended up on their marketing list. I don't have time to be on annoying mailing lists that buy my data from other companies I do use. unsubscribe is your friend.

Doesn't gmail (and assume other clients) auto sort all this stuff anyways? It always ends up in my 'promotions ' or whatever it's called folder.

There should be a way to unsubscribe, no?

OF course there is. People like to complain. It is a God given right.
And for the record, we (Net54baseball) have never ever sold or given away any emails or phone numbers in our database. We do send out emails for companies as Hobby Updates but they too are easily opted out of.

Agreed, however, once a year (at most) I will get an e-mail for a Free $50 gift card for taking a survey....which keeps me from unsubscribing.

As I mentioned to Peter, I'm ok with one, maybe even two or three a day, especially from an advertiser that supports something I enjoy.


I thought five was a bit much. (If it was stuff I bought, which with an oil bill of 1700-2000 the last couple months is nearly nothing five might be cool. )

There probably is, but with the emails coming from multiple accounts, I'm not sure unsubscribing from one would unsubscribe me from all.


I also believe they're an advertiser, and that to me gives them a bit of leeway as they're supporting something I enjoy. One a day would be totally ok, two only a problem on my worst "get of my lawn" type days.... Five? As the movie says, five is right out.

I appreciate you giving a supporter (advertiser) of our forum some leeway. Others I don't care about >

G what?


On a serious note, I have a commercial gmail account through a place I do some work for. Google wouldn't allow me to access it with my computer without wiping and restructuring my Outlook inbox, which I'm not about to do.


I got a laptop from them, and similarly, I can access webmail after some setting up, but can't download and save the emails, which is my preference.


I'll only use G mail if I'm required to, it's just bad.

1 email that a preview is up which should be optional, 1 that the auction is live, 1 at extended bidding which should be optional, and 1 email with the bill.
