    Five Ways to Stop Looking Spammy

    posted on May 18, 2016 / IN Advertising / Media Buying / Media Planning / Media Strategy / Mobile Marketing / Mobile Media Buying / Uncategorized / 0 Comments

    Did you know 70% of the email messages marked as spam by users are actually legitimate marketing messages? Your spammy exterior just may be hiding stellar copywriting, beautiful images, and money saving offers. To be fair, some of this is beyond our control. Research shows a lack of understanding by many as to what truly constitutes spam. For example, 72% of email users will report a message as spam if they simply don’t want to receive it, even if they opted-in to receive the messages previously and even when there was an unsubscribe button in the message.
