Sharing your real email and one that you can read and answer right away, is one of the best investments a business can make. It makes a great, greta difference, I think.

No Reply email addresses smack of arrogance.

Pity so many so-called Internet Marketing Gurus use them…

Wonder what they’re really telling us about themselves?

To me when I see messages from no-reply addresses, its usually a notification email or some other automated system email that I’m usually glad to recieve.

Thing is, some people think its ok for them to market like that. Fail!

It tells me instantly that this person has no time for me but wants me to make time for them. I don’t see this too often though…but when I do I’ll be sure to unsubscribe.

I have been having a whole lot of trouble with this one.

I absolutely hate getting emails from the big gurus that I have purchased downloads from and can’t contact them when the product isn’t ‘available’ for one reason or another.

It is a stupid practice.

I understand they don’t want tons of emails, like I’ve gotten, but they have to have some way of contact for times when their products have problems.

This is especially annoying with responders like GetResponse. There is absolutely no way to correct this problem when they have no email to ask for help.

Aweber is much better because they at least have the link where you signed up for the products.

Email is not always used for ongoing person-to-person 2 way communication.

An emailed order confirmation for example is not generally considered a person-to-person communication. A newsletter isn’t either. Most people do NOT expext these to be 2-way conversations.

While I do not use no-reply, and I think it looks really bad, I don’t take issue with those that do.

I don’t really think aweber should dictate internal business processes, as they simply have not made a compelling arguement as to how it affects them. I haven’t seen them post stats on spam complaints for people who use no-reply, which should be pretty easy for aweber to find. Which leads me to believe that the facts do not support the hypothesis.
