How NOT to do E-Mail Marketing One thing that you do not want to do, never ever, is send a sales e-mail message to someone who has not asked for it. It is one of the worst things you can do. It’s very tempting to do. You find the e-mail address of a company that might be interested in your product and you say to yourself, "I'll send them an e-mail. What do I have to lose?". The answer is that you have a lot to lose. Sending a sales e-mail message to someone who did not ask for it called "***M". It is considered a very unprofessional and rude thing to do. ***M messages are hated by everyone. It is the most offensive and at the same time least effective way to market on the internet. In short, sending ***M e-mail messages is not an effective way to sell your products. It’s a waste of your time and that of the person who gets your unwanted message. But there is something even worse. Sending ***M sales messages gives your company a very bad reputation. You become a "***MMER" and buyers around the world hate ***mmers. It's this simple. Sending e-mail messages to buyers who have asked for it can be very effective. Sending ***M e-mail message to people who have not asked for is ineffective and destroys your company's reputation. Please, don't send ***M
