Best Unsubscribe Ever
Oct 23 2008
Even though email marketing is a permission based marketing channel (hopefully), you still get some irate emails in all caps requesting removal. Emails like “REMOVE ME NOW, I HOPE YOU DIE” or “I WILL NEVER USE YOUR COMPANY” are common replies. What can you do?
This particular email was a small victory in the email wars:
“Remove me please. Nice looking AD, by the way.”
Validation of great creative from a unsubscriber. What more can an email marketer ask for?

At least they were honest. Most people that send the “I hate you… ” type unsubscribe are just venting.

That, is strangely and uniquely a grand compliment to receive. I’d be stoked.
