PRESS RELEASE Of interest to editors and journalists covering: Advertising, Direct Marketing, Internet Software and Technology, DotCom Dynamics Direct, Inc. Reports AOL Email Users Complain Not Unsubscribe LOS ANGELES, Calif. - November 9, 2004 /Send2Press Newswire/ -- Dynamics Direct, Inc., the leader in Email Relationship Management (ERM) software and hosted solutions for the enterprise, reported today that AOL email recipients are about ten times as likely to click on the "report as spam" button in the AOL email client as they are to follow provided unsubscribe instructions. Actual email campaign data from the company's Email Relationship Management (ERM) platform, Dynamic Messenger(TM), reported an average of ten AOL spam complaints for every one AOL unsubscribe. This information demonstrates the importance of having an email platform capable of managing spam complaints as well as opt-outs. If companies want to help AOL and other ISPs reduce spam and not get treated as a spammer themselves, they need to be able to identify customers that complain and stop emailing them. The Dynamic Messenger(TM) ERM platform reports and automatically unsubscribes email recipients who complain so no further email can be sent to those individuals from the entire organization. "The number one concern we get today from corporate marketing managers is their fear of looking like a spammer," says Jason McNamara, CEO of Dynamics Direct. "These marketers want to expand the use of email across the enterprise but hesitate in fear of hurting the company brand. Next generation Email Relationship Management platforms, like Dynamic Messenger(TM), provide corporate marketing managers with the capability and visibility needed to create, manage and enforce corporate email programs and policies that improve customer relationships and reduce spam complaints."
