Did you know…

The difference between email marketing and spamming?

Email addresses gathered from events, current customers, internet lead providers, or other sources that can provide interested and current prospects are the ones you should be advertising to. Sending unsolicited mass emails to purchased lists of leads is considered spamming because those lists are often filled with old and nonexistent email addresses, and even spam traps. Sending emails to leads who have not opted into receiving them is against Blitz Lead Manager’s Terms and Conditions.
