Nine more signs you've done too much email marketing...

This is the 1,500th entry on this blog. I'm flummoxed as to an appropriate post. My original plan to pay hommage to all the great email marketing experts out there peaked too early and appeared as post 1,478.

I thought about a rant about media bias. Too serious. A few revelations about who the heck this Mark Brownlow actually is? Too personal (people read your blog to get information on the subject, not the writer.)

So I've settled for a bit of humor to brighten up your day. Probably the most popular post of all time here was the one entitled You know you've done too much email marketing if...

So here's another nine examples of when it's time to put away the email and reach for the off switch. Cheers and thanks for being here.

Mark

you keep changing the design of your office door to see how this impacts open rates

your spouse tells you the marriage is over, and you offer them a $25 coupon if they'll recommit to the relationship

when your checks bounce, you just delete the payee from your records

you don't put stamps on letters on the assumption you're whitelisted at the postal service

it annoys you that the grocery store didn't change this week's flyer based on your last purchase there

you want more than one child, so you can do proper A/B tests on mealtime content preferences

you don't let people join your card game unless they first reveal their age, gender, household income, zipcode and prefered salutation

your kids are tired of trying to justify the ROI of the pocket money you give them

you're still reading this blog post ;-)
