Unbelievable mailing lists

Mailing lists: are they any good? Well of course many are. But the sale of lists leaves me wondering about the industry.

I’ve just received yet another email from Email UK Data. They claim that their lists are opt-in, double opt-in and some are even triple opt-in. Additionally they pride themselves in the quality of what they deliver.

I cannot remember the last time I bought a list, let alone opted in to Email UK Data. I guess they are using one of their lists…so how good is that?

Experiment: I’ve opted out of their mailings. Let’s see what happens. I’m not overly hopeful as the unsubscribe link just fired up an email to send.

    They’ve emailed me again. So unsubscribing wasn’t very effective.

    Despite having unsubscribed twice I have received yet another email from the plonkers at Email UK Data, the people that claim to sell such high quality mailing lists.
