Spamming is sending the same message to hundreds or thousands of
e-mail addresses in the hope of hitting a few interested people. It
displays extreme selfishness and total disregard for the 99%+ that are
annoyed and inconvenienced by it.
So, if you must send unsolicited e-mail in your search for new
customers...
1. Only send one-line solicitations, followed by “e-Mail for details.”
People who want details will reply, those that don't, won't;
2. Use proper bulk e-mail software that supresses the list of names;
or
3. Put the list of e-mail addresses in “Bcc” (stands for blind copies)
to protect the privacy of your audience. “Cc” lets all recipients see
the full list of addresses. Apart from the privacy angle, it's
frustrating to receive a one line message preceded by 5 pages of e-
mail addresses!
4. Put your own e-mail address at the top of the list, as a quality
check, so you can see what everyone else is receiving;
5. End with your full name and a short, one-line signature.
Using the following suggested useful phrases and language
vocabulary make up a dialogue about e-mailing.
