Marketing Email Volume Skyrocketed Recently?

Kevin A. Purcell

Is it just me, or has the volume of marketing email skyrocketed recently? I checked my inbox, and in the last 3 days, I've recieved about 20 emails from Logos advertising stuff. I don't want to entirely unsubscribe, but you should absolutely give us the option to receive at most one per day, or one per week would be even better.

This could be easily helped by Logos updating the unsubscribe options to better align with the emails going out. Most emails are part of a 'theme' such as recently released, suggested for you, etc… There should be options to allow unsubscribing from the specific ones that don't interest me (the ones I usually delete without even opening anyway) without having to unsubscribe from the few I do want.

It's not just you.

My volume of L emails is the same high steady; no increase noted.

I had to unsubscribe from all of them. I may come back at some point if I hear they have calmed down. I was getting 2-5 per day sometimes. Most of it was for things I had no interest in looking at.

I don't know if it's increased recently but it seems to have been quite high for a while now.

During the subscription release I resubscribed so as to not miss anything and I felt just bombarded - 2 or even 3 a day sometimes, plus heaven forbid if you left something in your cart, you'd get daily e-mails about it. I unsubscribed after. I recently resubscribed because I just wanted to get the Deal of the Day e-mails, but it seems by doing that you are automatically subscribed to other of their junk e-mails, even if you only have the Deal of the Day checked.

I wonder if the person who decided sending out so many e-mails is a good idea realizes that the more people mark these e-mails as spam, the more likely providers like Gmail and others will eventually start to just automatically mark them as spam for everyone and then very few people will see them?

That's a great point. The spam filters are getting smarter, so they're starting to flag messages based on what you delete as well - and right now I'm deleting the vast majority of the Logos emails I'm getting without opening them.

Meh … just turn them all off. I haven't seen a marketing email in maybe 15 years.

Customer churn. The boss wants results.

I'm surprised that they have not responded at all to the nearly universal (either through strong complaint or through reluctant tolerance) critique of the volume and categories of emails. While some folks have left them turned on and admitted to doing so, I cannot recall anyone who has said they appreciate the volume of advertising emails and wish that we could receive more.

Also nearly universal is the bewilderment about not being able to choose which kind(s) of marketing emails we get.

Or maybe it's not surprising that Logos folks have not responded to this. What could they possibly say?

David J. Wilson

What I find a little pathetic is getting several emails a day suggesting how it would be such a great deal for me to purchase an item currently on sale that I already own. Besides being silly and wasting my time it tends to make me much less likely to open emails from Logos, so they are probably actually losing out because of flooding the inbox with too much that is pointless. Logos needs to apply some filters at their end BEFORE sending out an advertising email to avoid asking anyone to consider buying what they already own.

DMM

Exactly. What Logos needs are meaningful e-mails. Not just mass e-mails.

I posted this the other day when trying to find out how to get e-mails for the Deal of the Day.

Found out I can, but the ONLY way to get them is by also subscribing to all the e-mails from the two tiers above.
