Annoying Emails?



With the mushroom growth of blogshops in Malaysia today, it’s just a mouse click away for customers to purchase items online and have it delivered to your doorstep the next day. Free from the hassle of driving and getting stuck in the jam plus the weekend crowds, online shopping is becoming a growing revenue for entrepreneurs as well as consumers.





The issue we’re addressing today is update mails from blogshops.

Most of us subscribe to our favourite blogshops so that we’ll know when they’ve updates. But what about the ones you didn’t subscribe to? Why do you get flooded with emails from them? How did they manage to get hold of your email?

To be honest, we don’t even know how this happens but they just have your email! stored in their mailing list! Perhaps emails sent out by other blogshops to their subscribers are copied and pasted onto the other mailing list.

*******

This is becoming a norm where some of us just accept the mail and delete it afterwards or some of you would ask the respective blogshops to stop delivering those emails. But it’s also frustrating because more new mails will just pop out and you have to repeat the same process over and over again and you just can’t figure how your email ended up in those hands.

Before you accuse any blogshops with a rampage, here’s a few ways you can reduce the unwanted emails:

1. Be polite to the blogshop owner that you do not wish to receive updates from them anymore.

2. Do not shout/ curse or use the CAPLOCKS KEY to demand. A simple ‘Please delete my email from your mailing list’ would suffice.

3. If the problem continues after constant reminder, just mark the email as junk/spam.

4. Create an alternative email for your online shopping so that your personal email wouldn’t be filled and jumbled with emails from blogshops.
