And you rarely have any way to find out where these purchased addresses came from or how they were acquired.<\/p><p>Using a purchased list is one of the worse mistakes marketers can make.\u00a0 However renting a list is usually not, but there are issues using rented lists too.\u00a0 List rental is an acknowledged practice in email marketing. For a fee, legitimate owners of rental addresses send an email to their list on your behalf.\u00a0 They have all the stats and handle all the list mechanics.\u00a0 You do not see the addresses on the list the rental list owner is sending to and you pay for each name used.\u00a0 Do you get a guaranteed delivery rate?\u00a0\u00a0 Is the list current and are the addresses pertinent to your message?\u00a0 There are so many more questions to think about.\u00a0 To keep list rental issues in check, use a recognized list broker to contract a reliable list rental company.<\/p><p>Dundee Internet Services is not a list broker; we are an ESP, an email list hosting provider.\u00a0 Using our years of list hosting experience while working with hundreds and hundreds of list owners, we complied this short list of what not to do when email marketing \u2013 Bad Email List Practices for Poor Results<\/p><p>* USE purchased email lists.\u00a0 There no guarantee how the names were really obtained or if they are really have been confirmed; and you certainly don\u2019t have permission to mail to the address.<br \/>* MAIL to your list from a different domain or company name without explanation.\u00a0 (When you merge with another company or buy another company, do not email to your list from the new company address and assume all the recipients know who you are.\u00a0\u00a0 And do not mail to the new company list from your old address and make the same assumption.\u00a0 Make a smooth transition from the old to the new by having the original owner email an explanation about the changes because of the merger or purchase.)<br \/>* DO NOT use sanity checks on your web site sign up addresses.\u00a0\u00a0 (Check to ensure the submitted address is technically correct and is a valid email address.\u00a0 Do not assume that people will put in the correct address:\u00a0 <a href=\"mailto:alice@enter.aol\">alice@enter.aol<\/a>)<br \/>* DO NOT confirm addresses\u00a0 ( Use closed loop confirmations or confirmed opted-ins.\u00a0 When someone joins your list, confirm their email address to make sure it\u2019s correct and they signed up for something they want.)<br \/>* DO NOT have a privacy policy or stick to the one you have.<br \/>* ASSUME you have permission from everyone to put them on all the lists you own, not just the one they opted-in too.<br \/>* DO NOT removed bad or opted out addresses in a timely manner.<br \/>* DO NOT track opens or click-throughs or use any type of user feedback.\u00a0 (When you use tracking and feedback you will know when your mailings aren\u2019t getting the expected response in a certain amount of time: the addresses may not be cost effective to keep the addresses on your list.)<br \/>* LIE to your ESP about list origins.<br \/>* USE SPAM-like or misleading subjects.<br \/>* USE SPAMMY content to trigger anti-spam filters.<br \/>* DO NOT act on complaints<br \/>* DO NOT comply with the Cann Spam Act or other laws.<br \/>* DO NOT collect demographics to use for target mailing.<br \/>* JUMP from ESP to
