Dealing with Bounced Emails: Tips for Managing Newsletter Subscribers

[princessmeshelle]

when people give you their email to be added to your newsletter group, what do you do with people who repeatedly come back as unable to deliver the email? i got a stack of leads at my last 2 boothes and specifically told everyone "if you are interested, give me your email for my newsletter". i thought i had made it clear that it wasn't a requirement. so why would they purposely give me bad emails? so, should i try calling or should i cuyt my losses?

Sometimes I have some come back due to my entering it in wrong. Did you double check them? Or sometimes people wrote a l and I can't tell if it's a 1 or an "l", for example. Or 5 vs. an "S". If they provide a phone number, you could call and say "Hi! This is xxx, I met you at xxx. I was just wondering if you were still interested in receiving my monthly e-mail newsletter?" Then if they say yes, you can ask for the address (and hope it'll clear things up for you).

Are you using the PWS emails? I've heard some people have trouble with those bouncing back more often than just email from your own email provider.
