Regarding the bait, not in the conventional way no. It's been many years since we brought a 'normal' bait out and the next one will be no differen

If it's in the pipelines I'm looking forward to that

That's the downside tho, if they unsubscribe it's hard to get them to subscribe again later.

Good luck with it all tho Jason, it's not easy for any business out there at the moment.

Just had an email about a video release on the 15th December, Hut Island, thank you job done. I will likely have a look.

But,
If I continue to receive daily emails about this over the next five days I will be cancelling an order you have in your diary for delivery early 2025.

Yes I know I can unsubscribe but I shouldn't have to, I'm happy to hear about offers and the occasional video etc but this last few weeks have bordered harassment.

Its very easy to set parameters for outgoing marketing, I know as I've spent the last 30 plus years in Sales and Marketing. I used the same email address that received your emails to place an order so there was no need for the many repetitive emails after the fact.

On the plus side whoever answers your phone is spot on

Just delete the email and move on I've had the same come up today but I've got more important things to think about right this moment than too many emails from a company

Probably not applicable to many now a days but if you use MS outlook on a computer you can create rules to have emails sent straight to a specific folder. Means you can stay subscribed for discount codes etc but still have them out of your main inbox.

Its what I do so that I can drop in once every few weeks and have a catch up if needed. I think with social media now a days I see most of it on there first and go and check the email promo if I'm interested enough in it.

Another one i'm going to throw under the bus for the same is Korda clothing - relentless amount of emails after buying something from them.

Still they pale into insignificance compared to some non fishing companies (Jet2, Step one)

Tackle box
These are just a few I get daily,sometimes more than once a day,I just delete move on,things going on in my life right now I don't worry about these things just pointless stressing about it,companies are only doing what they need to do to survive we'd all moan if these type of companies went tits up.

I wonder if some of it is people signing up with more than 1 email account when they try and get offers, so subsequently get the same email to multiple accounts?

I was wondering if it was 'ghosts' in the system but the emails are different so I'm guessing it's not that.

Ghosts meaning unsubscribed but still on database after registering/unsubscribing/resubscribing.

I think it depends on how you look at it.

Some people need to constantly be checking their emails for whatever reason - business, personal etc.

if you are getting emails & notifications from spam that isn't applicable, it can be distracting & takes time to action. even if it's 15 seconds to deal with each mail (open app, open email, scan email, delete email). one a day a week, for a whole year is 1 1/2 hours of time dealing with spam emails from a single company.

as a marketer working on brand awareness, you should be always be looking at convenience vs inconvenience & spamming your consumer base smacks of either laziness or ineptitude.

Another night another email, this time it's for cheap Chinese sweatshirts with DNA on.

Jason, if I order one sweatshirt will a further 30, 40 or 50 turn up daily thereafter?

I clicked on your update subscription preferences but that only allows you to change the format of your company's harassment 🤔👌

I was going to look at one of your new videos but changed my mind just incase the ****ing thing never ends.

As all my emails come up on my phone (not on my laptop as it's not linked to an email I use)I just delete or if it's junk I block and flag then delete takes matter of seconds for me,but I won't go around screaming about how many I'm getting a day from one company just delete it and move on
