One of the features of the head chef and exec chef services that I am thinking about offering is a custom subscribe/unsubscribe page. It would have a web address of something like this: www.mypcnewsletter.com/chefjoy.htm (don't click on the link, it won't work).

Basically it would take you to a web page that says:

Welcome to Joy Edwards' newsletter subscription page.

Please enter your email address below to subscribe/unsubscribe:

Then there would be a field for email address and buttons for subscribe/unsubscribe and submit.

Then it would say:
Thank you very much. If I can be of assistance, please contact me anytime!

(NO PWS LINK!)


So in your opinion, does this violate any policy? It does not link to a PWS, does not link to CC, does not link to the corporate site. Does not mention PC at all. Maintains privacy. Simply is a place for people to self-subscribe or unsubscribe. My thought was that you could either append the link to your email signature (i.e. "sign up for my e-newsletter at www.mypcnewsletter.com/chefjoy.htm") OR you could place it in the text of one of the news articles on your PWS to direct people to self-subscribe. (The mailserver I use will email you whenever someone signs up or drops off.)

So.... if that all made sense, could you weigh in on this? I probably need to contact HO as well, but I thought I'd ask here since you are all so good at reading between the lines.

Thanks!
 
Looking at what you have laid out, nothing seems to be violating policy to me. The only thing HO MAY question is the mypcnewsletter with the initials PC in the domain name.Maybe you could get the domain mynewsletter.com or something simpler or mycustomernewsletter.com so it is even more generic if they have an issue.Let us know - that sounds like a great plan!

That one isn't bad either!

Just thinking best to keep anything "PC" out of it...in case policies were to change or they have questions.
