Too Many Emails

I totally agree with this request. The amount of emails is getting too much!

Same. I don't even read them any longer. Most of the resources I either have or are simply not interested in. They're getting annoying. Cognitive overloading. Probably will turn off notifications.

So … I'm paying FL $20 to keep their emails. And darn well worth it.

I realize that this time of year that sale promotions are out of hand. I must say that even so the marketing from Faithlife has been increasing. Shopping cart reminders… this happens with other online shopping sites but I find it annoying nonetheless. I place items in the cart as I consider them for purchase; often they get removed or added to purchase latter. Faithlife will keep reminding me until I just empty the cart.

I had previously unsubscribed from all the e-mails - they were not useful and there were WAY to many of them. I resubscribed a couple months ago to get news about all the changes.
I have since unsubscribed again.
There are way too many e-mails. Way to many! And most of them are very poorly thought out and poorly timed. If it's announcing a sale, it's often sent several days AFTER the sale has started (so I've already been aware). Same with the free books. The weekly what's trending e-mail is completely useless - it only lists 5 books, and most of those are just the free ones.
The most annoying thing, however, was all the constant reminders that I have a book in my cart. I often browse and will add a book to my cart. If I don't buy it in 1 hour, I'm going to get a reminder e-mail. If I remove it, and add something else, an hour later, another e-mail. That's called SPAM.
And with Logos, it seems it's either all or nothing.
I do not want to get an e-mail telling me something is in my cart. And certainly not repetitive reminders about it. That's incredibly annoying.
I do not want to get e-mails notifying me of sales DAYS after the sale has already started. I'd be perfectly happy with an e-mail notifying me of the sale when it went live.
But what is equally frustrating is the lack of e-mails about things that actually matter. I got what seems to be a million e-mails about their live launch. I was an early subscriber. I believe it was on October 18th that Logos added the mobile ed courses to our subscriptions… and not a single e-mail about it. Nothing telling me what courses were included - that information wasn't even listed on their website until a couple weeks ago, and even now it's still hidden in the FAQ. That's something I would have liked an e-mail about.
I believe they did this for December but for November, with the official launch of the subscriptions that they had sent out countless e-mails about… not a single e-mail telling people how to claim your free book. There were many people who were confused about it. The only link to it was again hidden in the FAQ. It was only half way through November that they put it on the drop down menu with all the other sales.
