Picture yourself as a bigwig business, keen to expand your email list and broaden your reach. You could purchase an email list, but should you? Constant Contact delves into this question, outlining the pros and cons that come with taking this shortcut. Let’s start with the negatives: buying an email list can lead to a high level of spam complaints and may harm your email sender reputation. On the flip side, a purchased list can provide you with a head start in reaching out to new prospects, with some lists specifically tailored to your desired audience. But wait, there’s more! Ultimately, Constant Contact concludes that it’s better to build your email list organically through strategies such as website sign-ups, social media campaigns, and event marketing. Don’t take a shortcut when it comes to your email list; your reputation and customer trust is worth the extra effort.
