Email Marketing or Email Spamming?

As I always say, in the future every company will rely in in digital advertising and marketing more than anything. Email marketing is one of the useful tools to accomplish good results though these channels. Now, a good and effective email marketing is that one that it is sent to a list of subscribers that have actually subscribed to it.

Recently, I have heard about companies that buy those lists from third parties and use it to send their own promotions. This can be wrong in so many ways!

First of all it is illegal to do it.
            Yes! Also in Puerto Rico.
Is it really worth it?
I mean, if you just got a list of random people, how do you know it is your target?  Maybe the company can gat one or two responses, but that is it. A well-worked list will develop by far better results.
SPAM
People hate SPAM, the company will receive many unsubscribes and complains by the minute.

How to deliver effective Email Marketing?
This can take time, but every company needs to create their own list of subscribers starting from scratch. A good way to do this can be by integrating the social network and creating marketing strategies. For example, creating a Facebook Page app synchronized with the EM service provider. Another way is to create contest and create an option for the people to receive email notifications offers and specials.  The possibilities are endless!
