Just a quick "reminder"!!!

MANY of the emails we sent Tuesday have not yet been opened!! (amazing technology--they can tell how OFTEN you open the email)

SOME of the names are very familiar to me---I know you are on IAP and I strongly suspect you WANT to get the Exotics' email. So, CHECK your spam filter!!!! (might try searching the phrase "Summer's coming"--it is in the header of this email).

We will NOT be purging these names, yet. We expect to send a new email every couple weeks, so if one is not opened for 3 or more consecutive mailings, THEN it will be deleted from the list.

Thanks for subscribing----we hope you enjoy reading our notes!!

I am pretty sure I can block you seeing whether or not I read the emails. If I don't download the HTML content of the message or allow a read receipt to send back to the mail system then you might not know if I had read it. I probably won't have this problem because I always download the HTML content of the Exotics stuff. Some might not though if they only want to read the text of the message. Just something to consider. ;)

I think I have subscribed twice now and I still do not receive emails from you.

Lin.

You are one of the ones that surprised me, on the "did not open" list!! There are many other familiar names, as well. I will send you a PM and we can figure out what's happening (Don't want to put your email on this public forum!!)

Thanks!!!!

Hey Ron!! What I DON'T understand about technology would fill volumes.

MailChimp is very "concerned" about spamming---so I don't want to send to ANYONE who does not WANT the mail. And, their fee goes up as the distribution increases, so we are motivated to be certain the email is directed only to those who WANT it!!

So, after 3 times walking past your pen booth and not stopping in, they are banned from buying?

My intention is to identify why some of you are not seeing the email we are sending.
THEN determine how I can overcome that. So, you will be getting PM's (I don't want to put your email addresses on the forum). I have an idea, which I will try with a few, then determine if it is a solution or not.

Not at the office yet, so limited "tools".

Be back later.

Mannie, yours was sent to woodenwonders--opened at 7:49 PM on May 20. (At least that's what OUR software says--Mailchimp)

I like the software name. :)

Does it give you the option to send an email with a message allowing people to resubscribe if they do not want to be taken off? just curious.

Ron,
I am surmising (far better than assuming) that those who don't open our emails, after ASKING for them are not able to SEE the email. With a word like "Exotic" in the name, I suspect their software is protecting them from our porn.

Of course, they could "white list" us, but how often do you sign up to get promotional email and ALSO white list the company-----I'm guessing "NEVER"!!

So, I will be working on a way to send without showing the word "exotic".

I certainly don't want to admit I was unable to outsmart a "chimp":eek::eek::eek:!!!

I don't believe that I've received an eMail or any kind of notices for a very, very long time.


Hi Michael!! You also are not shown on our mailing list, click here
and fill out the short form!!

When we changed the website, last September (2013), the old mail service went with the site, so we had to rebuild the whole mailing list. That's probably why we "lost" you and about 3000 other people!!

Sorry for the inconvenience---MailChimp would not allow us to transfer the names, because of federal laws prohibiting "spamming". (At least that is what they tell us).
