The amount of emails is getting too much

It would be very nice if the number of emails from Logos could be limited to e.g. 1 per day or 1 per week. It would be a shame to fully unsubscribe, but the amount of emails is now really getting too much.

    I just unsubscribed from all Logos email communication. The plethora of emails is really getting too much, with multiple emails a day convincing me to purchase more and more books. This is starting really to look like it is all about consumption and getting the sales up instead about the Word of God.

    I agree that there should be a limit or more will unsubscribe defeating the purpose. I ordered a book from an e mail link and now they are worse.

    I can't get enough of the emails. I know they aren't for everyone, but their personalized nature helps me research books I hadn't thought of.

    I think it would be a great compromise is that we can subscribe to a one week roundup of all promotions, sales, new releases, etc. I don’t need daily emails; I get enough spam already. Afterall the dashboard is also communicating similar if not the same messages. Sure, occasionally I might see something I hadn’t yet thought of; I agree that is helpful. I don’t need to know that I left something in my shopping cart as I consider the item. Oftentimes I just delete it anyway. I don’t want to keep getting a reminder. If the Logos folks want me to have it that much then just send it to me for free! That is all.

    I really don't want to unsubscribe from everything, can't we fine tune things better?

    I don't find my emails are personalized much if at all.

    I wish there was an option to choose what you get. It really is all or nothing.

    I made a free account for a young man at church last year and he commented on all the constant e-mails Logos would send him.

    These kinds of e-mails would be nice to get:

    • an e-mail to announce a new sale. And that e-mail comes when the sale starts, not days or even a week after.
    • an e-mail with the deal of the day
    • an e-mail when something in your wishlist has gone on sale

    These kinds of e-mails are very unhelpful:

    • if I add something to my cart and don't buy it in an hour, I do not want e-mails about it. Ever. There's no need to remind me the next day, either. That's spam.

    I agree with OP. I've been getting so many emails that I went to unsubscribe from some of them, and found out that there was no fine tuning. To achieve my objectives I would have to unsubscribe from EVERYTHING. I don't want to do that, though, because I want to be generally aware of what Logos is doing and any big sales.

    So far I haven't changed anything, but I'm getting increasingly aggravated by all the spam, and at some point I might just pull the plug.

    Guys, you DO realize, if they start sending fewer emails, that'll mean fewer clicks. And that'll mean fewer sales. And then someone won't meet their sales goal. And their boss too. Is she (or he) going to sit back and just 'let it happen'? Think of their families. Bellingham cost of living. And don't forget Logos … it's just barely surviving without forced subscriptions and trillions of sent emails.

    Now, some of you are trying to be logical. You think, if they keep it up, many will just unsubscribe. But think about it … did you click/buy on ANY of the emails?? A couple? No loss.

    Let's be kind. Smiling.
