WHY USE OPT-IN E-MAIL LISTS?
Opt-in emails are the best way to target a market through
email. Each person has opted to receive emails about relevant offers
and/or advertisements through the use of an online survey, or a postal
survey. The names are never released to the client due to the privacy
agreements on the web site or survey in which they registered.
