sorry i got wrong in my above comment so its should be like this,

In my opinion, permission marketing is not interruption marketing and that’s will bring best results too but when its come to spam its totally interruption.

so emailing someone about a product is viewed as SPAM? I agree to that. I wish there was a way to elimiate SPAM altogether. What more can we do to fight it?

I agree, that permission based/opt in email marketing is not spam nor ineffective at all. Many of my colleagues sustain their revenue solely off email marketing and their lists. But I do see your point of interruption, as in essence, isnt all forms of marketing interrupting to some extent? In general, over the years I have seen companies take more active roles in email marketing…

I do not think permission marketing is interruption marketing. They have my permission! I want the emails- that is why I gave them permission to send them in the first place. So when I receive the emails I am not any more interrupted than if it had been an email from a friend or colleague.

Dawud- I also read Seth Godin’s blog about permission marketing and email, and I wonder how anything ever got sold.

What about people who were in bed doing whatever when the Fuller Brush man came around. I guess that was a interruption!

Too bad we have such a great tool for marketing and sales vs just knocking on doors, but we’re a slimeball if we use it.

Why don’t we all buy cars and just keep walking? Well, call me a slimeball! I have a great product, but I better keep it to myself since I don’t have permission to talk about it.

I agree with membership, also consider that SPAM = email

so emailing someone about a product is viewed as SPAM

spam has a bad name for it self so connecting it with your business makes your rep go down.

membership,
I think you’re right.

The point that’s been lost in this conversation, I feel, is that no one is wrong – or right. Interruption is in the eye of the one being interrupted.

I believe that email marketing is interruption marketing because some people might think that is is a nuisance to see lots and lots of advertisement and make the internet traffic slow down.

home,
I don’t. I want the people who are interrupted by my content to want to read it. Otherwise, I’d rather not bother you. Does that seem fair?

Well, for me, I only open the ones I’m interested in, so it depends on what email advertising it is.. It also depends on other variables like if I have the interest to read it at that moment, time-constraints or email storage space. I usually delete them hope you don’t mind

sueblimely,
So does email marketing – opt-in, of course – get you to buy more often?

Ecommerce,
Maybe. I’m of the mind that anything can change. So if email spam, for instance, could be fully avoided, would you partake?

ViralInviter,
But could it depend on the perspective of the one having their inbox filled?

Marmaris,
Spam filter, get off any list you don’t want to be on and talk with your ISP/web host about better filtering.

SEO,
Perhaps. I just keep finding it interesting that we’re focused on what we, as business owners think, rather than considering what the consumer might think. Thoughts?

Well, to some people it is interrupting marketing. But for those who just ignore spam mails, its not a problem to them at all. Nothing gets interrupted. Great article btw !
