i want to have a subscription drive. as many of you know, i send out an e-newsletter 2 or 3 times a month to let people know what’s new on slowtwitch. i want to add to that list of people to whom i send this newsletter.
so, i approached albert, and i asked if he’d go in on it with me, and maybe we’d have a 24hr sale, where if you add your email address to our list (whether or not you’re already on our list), it takes you to a place where you see a discount code good for anything online on R&A’s site during a 24 hour period.
of course nobody sees our email list but us, and it only gets used for the newsletters, and the odd email once every three or six months or so for some special reason (some of you got my email on the USAT election resolutions earlier this week).
anyway, so albert says that if this email drive can accrue to HIS list as well, then he’d be disposed to offer a bigger discount, and also offer a raffle, something along the lines of giving away a P3C frame, or Kuota Kalibur frame, or something, to one randomly selected among those who give us their email address during that 24 hour period.
my question is this: what would you rather i do, have this subscription drive be only for email addresses accruing to the slowtwitch list, or would you rather your email be added to albert’s list as well, if i can grind him a bit harder on what he’ll do in exchange for this?
of course, in any case any email we send out will have an auto-unsubscribe utility, as we already do, and i would imagine R&A has the same. that established, people are still funny about what happens to their email addresses, so i still feel obliged to ask what you all would prefer.
btw, if it turns out that most people prefer to have their email addresses added to both our lists, this will not affect those who’re already on the slowtwitch list. if you sign up AGAIN, then you’d be on both lists. if you don’t, you’d still simply remain on our list.
