Permission Based Email Marketing - Why Is It Important?

TeeMailer is the leader in permission email marketing. We maximize email deliverability through our proprietary technology and emphasis on helping clients follow the highest standards in email marketing.  Permission email marketing means communicating with clients and prospects that have granted their explicit permission. These subscribers must know you, be interested in your content, and approve the frequency of your communications.  Why Permission Marketing?

Results - Email marketing is most effective when your message is anticipated, personal and relevant. Sending unsolicited email reduces deliverability and ROI.

Reputation - Inappropriate use of email generates customer complaints and will damage your reputation and brand.

Legal Environment - Permission email marketing is no longer voluntary. Recently enacted California legislation and other pending bills make “direct consent” the law, and permit large fines for marketers not following permission practices.

TeeMailer Deliverability - TeeMailer maximizes our clients’ deliverability through the following product features, industry relationships and innovative programs:

1. Content Detective
Content Detective ensures that emails are not erroneously labeled as spam due to content filtering. This feature mirrors logic used by spam filtering software, such as SpamAssassin, to identify words, phrases, and patterns likely to trigger filters and recommends a resolution to each identified problem.

2. List Detective
List Detective scans email address during upload, filtering for addresses that indicate a list is not permission-based. Client lists are scanned for known unsolicited addresses, planted addresses, and addresses that don’t belong to an individual, such as nospam@, postmaster@ or abuse@.

3. ISP & Industry Partnerships
Our strict permission marketing practices have yielded “whitelist” relationships with key ISPs such as AOL and Yahoo, ensuring our clients’ email reaches its intended audience. As active members in NAI Email Service Provider’s Coalition and Email Deliverability Summit we work with legislators and key industry members to fight spam while protecting legitimate uses of email.

We leverage our industry partnerships to develop proprietary deliverability solutions for our clients like those illustrated below:

- AOL “Report Spam” Automated Unsubscribe
Working directly with AOL’s Anti-Spam Operations, we developed an automated complaint feedback loop and unsubscribe mechanism. AOL users clicking the “Report Spam” button are instantly unsubscribed from your TeeMailer account.- Whitepaper: “AOL 9.0: Why Marketers Must Adapt Now”

To prepare our clients for the newest version of AOL, we created a whitepaper that helps marketers optimize results when sending to AOL 9.0 users. This document is available to our clients upon request.

4. Deliverability Report Card
Our Deliverability Report Card service provides weekly reports to clients exceeding industry thresholds for undeliverable emails and spam complaints.

Clients receiving more than a single Report Card take part in our Deliverability Improvement Plan. Through this program we work closely with clients to improve their list hygiene and opt-in practices - helping them maximize delivery rates and overall email effectiveness.
