As someone who's tinkering on an app to send marketing email, I constantly struggle with the field. On one hand, I really think it helps small/niche businesses survive, which I think is critically important nowadays. On the other, nobody thinks their shit stinks, and man does it stink.

I'm curious--what emails do you actually appreciate getting? Would you subscribe to marketing email with restraints? (e.g. only email me when items in my size are on sale). If you could change how email marketing works, how would you do it?

I only appreciate emails with special offers for complementaries of products and services I’m already using.

And whenever I receive marketing emails that I never subscribed for, I flag it directly as spam, although sometimes I ask the sender, just for fun, the source of my address. They rarely reply :-)

I keep my Inbox clean because otherwise I’m missing important messages. If it’s not important, it doesn’t belong in my Inbox. If I don’t know the sender and it tries to sell me something, it’s spam. If I don’t remember subscribing, it’s spam.
