Email unsubscribe best practice

Estimated reading time: 1 min

Today I had a raft of emails from which I wanted to unsubscribe.  It happens.  But the experience was so variable between the different service providers that it’s worthy of a blog post.

Box.com

Box came up first – I don’t use the service and so why are they writing to me.

Hit unsubscribe.

They use Eloqua for email distribution and I have to type in my address in order to unsubscribe.

Not good.  You know my address, therefore you should have it pre-populated.

New Breed Marketing

New Breed Marketing came up next – an event in a country where I don’t

live – I won’t go and I don’t want more invites to events that I can’t attend.

Hit unsubscribe.

They use Hubspot for email distribution and I find that I can update my email ‘preferences’ and select to only get their blog posts by email.  Perfect!

Check your own set-up by subscribing to your mail list (I always do this for our clients) and see what your unsubscribe experience is like.  Don’t want to annoy customers.

    obviously like your website however you need to check the spelling on quite a few of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I to find it very bothersome to tell the truth on the other hand I will definitely come back again.

    I have learned some important things as a result of your post. I might also like to mention that there is a situation in which you will have a loan and don’t need a cosigner such as a Government Student Aid Loan. However, if you are getting a borrowing arrangement through a traditional creditor then you need to be willing to have a cosigner ready to enable you to. The lenders will base their very own decision over a few aspects but the greatest will be your credit history. There are some lenders that will in addition look at your job history and make a decision based on this but in almost all cases it will hinge on your report.
