I love it when you trust a company or organization with your information and then they spam you to death! At that time is when I bail either change settings to avoid mass mailings or block them all together . The same with phone calls and regular mail. Block and destroy and sometimes tell them to take me off their list as their current practice of spamming me is costing them business as I wouldn't even think about their services or products . Another thing that frost my cookies is people knocking on my front door. Or leaving a flyer. Our neighborhood is posted so anyone who does so I give them a verbal warning to leave if the don't I call local law enforcement for a free ride and perhaps charges for trespassing and littering. I also called and given them the option of sending someone back to pick up all their flyers or again will send law enforcement to pay them a visit,charging them with a trespass and littering. The way I see it if you're not a guest of one of my neighbors or residents you don't belong here leave!
I don't get any emails from them. I left the first time when they sold ANACS to Amos. Left the second time during the Walter episode. Ain't gonna be a third time.
I like getting the monthly Numismatist online but the rest is out of hand. They must have someone new trying to do too good a job. I'm up to 10 emails in the last 6 days. I can fix it if I log on to my account. You can select the type of emails you receive. I guess I'll have to figure out my password or just block them all. Guess I could also quit being such a baby and just delete them.
Seemed to have picked up recently although it tends to do that prior to the summer seminars and Annual show. The new weekly E-sylum email is great, but I was already been getting this for 5+ years when I signed up directly with NBS. BTW: I recommend the E-sylum to everyone. Weekly free newsletter from the Numismatic Bibliomania Society. It was one of the most interesting newsletters on Numismatics out there. There are actually more coin topics (Ancient, world, US, tokens, medals) than there are numismatic literature topics. Search for NBS and sign up for a free subscription NOTE: I am not a NBS member, just think it's a great newsletter
I think it's just the usual flurry of pre-show emails. This seems to happen a lot when an organization hires a "social media manager" or similar. The discovery of a long semi-dormant mailing list triggers the mentality of "OMG, must leverage this to BETTER engage 'our customers'". Without reference or thought to how those addresses were collected or how long ago or the type of engagement that was expected. It usually causes three things... /1/ A lot of unsubscribes /2/ Several nasty contacts from subscribers and then /3/ A rethink of the policy and frequency After all, if you lose 50% of your list to unsubscribes, that's not a good thing. And sometimes an organization handles these things well. Specifically, when they created the "ANA edition" of the eSylum, they didn't pass the mailing lists against each other, so I received the announcement and then the duplicate mailing. To ANA's credit a simple email "Hey, I'm already an eSylum subscriber" received a reply within an hour asking whether I wanted them to remove me from the ANA's side of the list, which they did instantly.
I've been a member for 35+ years and have received only 1 E-mail and that was 3+ years ago. I don't mind E-mails but I hate the phone calls from every charity and credit card service.
About 1 or 2, but it does seem like it has ramped up lately. They all seemed to have had to do with the show in a way. Sent from my ZTE B2017G using Tapatalk
