E-mail blast
 

I feel like there's a way to export every member's e-mail into some big ass list and send out an automated e-mail blast to those emails, telling them whats changed and to come back etc etc

Just a thought. I know there's a lot of dead accounts/multis but you gotta imagine 100's of emails will reach their intended targets

Mass emailing they call it but if we could do this, that’ll be lit

This is a no-brainer and if the site was under competent ownership this would be happening very regularly.

You do anything involving a lot of people and its called "mass" whatever

But an "e-mail blast" is the commonly used term

A commonly used term for companies everyone hates and immediately boycotts.

Its not a hated or boycotted term

It's just jargon. lol

You're speaking to a marketing guy here

@Student can you do this?

Literally google "email blast" and top 20 links talk about how it's a typically shunned marketing practice.

You may be the marketing guy, but I'm the guy who creates the tools that allow you to do it.

I don't know if you're trolling or just flat out lying to win a debate

In fact there's marketing sites expanding on the definition and even a WikiHow that teaches you how to 'Email Blast'.. They don't use 'Mass Email' the Wikihow refers to it as an Email blast

Sendgrid, campaignmonitor, ThriveHive

I've only seen 1 link on the first page of Google results that says to avoid calling it an Email blast. And another link saying to avoid doing email blasts completely


Is it less professional sounding? Definitely. But it's just jargon. There is no negative stigma attached to the phrase besides the snobby people (very few) who view it this way

You may be the guy who creates the tools, but I'm the marketing guy.

Yeah, I wasn't talking about the use of the words, just that the practice of mass spamming is no longer considered to be a good business practice.

From previous comments you've made on the site, I take your marketing approach to be more Jake Paul than Apple.

Uhh no.. We were talking about the TERM itself.


My marketing approach is Apple. In fact I study Apple and have books on both business and strategy... Like 'Good Strategy, Bad Strategy'... The entire first chapter is focused on what Apple did.

Can tell you how Apple is vertically integrated, the decisions they made in the late 90's to help them survive (the writing was on the wall thanks to Microsoft) etc etc

But I'm getting tired of replying and being right about everything in this thread so I won't entertain this anymore

Yeah. Don't go a day without Apple sending out 47 million spam emails.
