People are so frustrating! I did a booth recently and a person marked on their slip for me to add them to my email list for monthly news and specials. So, I send out my December newsletter and I just see on Constant Contact that they opted out and I have a spam report! I can only assume it's from this person. Why do you ask me to send you email and then complain when I send you email!?!?! :mad:
 
They probably thought they had a better chance of winning if they chose that answer.
 
I completely understand your frustration! It's so annoying when people say they want to be on your email list and then opt out or mark it as spam. It's like, why did you even bother in the first place? It's important for us as business owners to have a way to connect with our customers and keep them updated, but it's also important for people to be respectful and not opt in and out whenever they feel like it. Have you considered implementing a double opt-in system to ensure that people actually want to receive your emails? That might help prevent situations like this in the future. Hang in there!
