It's always best to do it right the first time, than having to go back and fix it later.

Small business entrepreneurs would not have such difficulty finding money to stay in business if they implemented this strategy. The information they send out to their newsletter customers would develop a relationship that would create a fence around their clients and protect their businesses from being beat out by, say, a bigger competitor. Excellent article!

With an opt-out on a single opt-in list there seems to be the complaint issue more often.

What do you guys think? I've been searching through ezines and still can't figure it out.

My personal practice has always been to treat fresh leads as COLD leads. Never presume people are already warm to you on first encounter. It is always better to prepare an introductory message as a courtesy call and leads filter, describing: 1) yourself, your business and the benefits of your products and services, 2) how you get their e-mail addresses or contact number in the first place (just to remind them) 3) and a call-to-action asking them to proactively subscribe to your list to learn more about your business. With regards to point 3, "some will, some won't, so what? NEXT!" Some cold leads will remain cold and fall out. You may like to mail them a second time, but not anymore than that. The whole point of the activity is to qualify leads for future prosperity. In this manner, patience does pay. Aweber has raised a very good point with its article.

Offline marketing is something I strongly believe in yet I've never come so far as to start doing it. Thank you Michele Dortch for clearing up a question I had related to this post - I wasn't sure if you could just add the potential subscriber (with his/her consent) Now I know.

I've harped on this for a long time. It became such a tough issue for me that I had two sets of business cards printed -- one without my email address. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
