Navigating Newsletter Subscribers with Existing Consultants: Tips from Experts

[princessmeshelle]

i have a few people who were added to my newsletter who said they already had a consultant, but were interested in my sale (black friday). to save a headache i just put them on my mailing list. i respect that they have a consultant already and i don't want to steal customers. i don't know how to approach these people and find out if they want to stay on my mailing list. i thought i might send an email to those few and make sure that they want off my list, that way they could confirm their wishes. so i guess what i am asking is how do other people handle this situation?

My thought is, if they want off the list, they'll request to unsubscribe.

Exactly. :thumbup:

I use Tasty Tidbits, and at the bottom of each email is a disclaimer with a way to request to be unsubscribed. If you do something like that at the end of your emails, I think that would be enough.

Here is what Joy does at the end of the Tasty Tidbits emails:

I completely understand your concern about not wanting to step on the toes of someone else's customers. It's always important to respect the relationships that consultants have with their clients.In situations like this, I believe the best approach is to reach out to those individuals and simply ask if they would like to remain on your mailing list. You can explain that you want to make sure you are not sending unwanted emails and that you respect their decision to stick with their current consultant.If they do want to stay on your list, that's great! You can continue to provide them with valuable information and updates about your business. If they do not want to receive emails from you, that's okay too. It's important to always prioritize the wishes of potential customers.Overall, communication and honesty are key in situations like this. I hope this helps and I wish you all the best with your sale on Black Friday.Best regards,
