What is Spam?
Spam is
unsolicited email also known as junk mail or UCE (Unsolicited Commercial Email.)
By sending email to only to those who have requested to receive it, you are
following accepted permission-based email guidelines.
How
SphereCreation protects you from sending spam
SphereCreation
is a permission-based email-marketing tool that follows the strictest
permission-based philosophies:
Communication
- Your SphereCreation registration page already states why you are collecting
the site visitor's email address, how you plan to use their address, and that
you are following the embedded privacy policy. Additionally, by accepting our
license agreement you have agreed to not sell or rent your lists.
Verification
- SphereCreation automatically sends all of your new subscribers an email
confirming their interest in receiving emails from you. Additionally, if your
subscriber changes his or her interests or unsubscribes, SphereCreation
automatically sends an email confirmation.
Unsubscription
- Every email generated from SphereCreation contains an unsubscribe link which
automatically updates your subscriber lists to avoid the chance of sending
unwanted emails to visitors who have unsubscribed.
Contact
Information - all of your emails are pre-filled with your contact information.
Isn't there a law restricting Spam?. Yes, but
state spam statutes vary so it is important to conform to the strictest
standards. Many states have spam statutes, and they all differ; each state has
its own definition of unsolicited commercial email. Additionally, there are
various federal agencies keeping track of spam including the Federal Trade
Commission.
How to
protect yourself from Spam: Take the Spam Test
Are you
importing a purchased list of ANY kind?
Are you
sending to non-specific addresses such as:
sales@domain.com,
business@domain.com, webmaster@domain.com,
info@domain.com,
or other general addresses.
Are you
sending to distribution lists or mailing lists which send indirectly to a
variety
of email addresses?
Are you
mailing to anyone who has not explicitly agreed to join your mailing list?
Have you
falsified your originating address or transmission path information?
Have you
used a third party email address or domain name without their permission?
Does your
email's subject line contain false or misleading information?
Does your
email fail to provide a working link to unsubscribe?
If you
have answered YES to ANY of the above questions you will likely be labeled a
SPAMMER. For more information visit The Coalition Against Unsolicited Email (www.cauce.org)
