May I include everyone who has ever made a purchase from my store on my customer list?
No. This service has been developed with a focus toward protecting the privacy of consumers. We suggest you define a "customer" as someone with whom you have an established, ongoing business relationship. Your first use of NAMA eMail Enhancement should be confined to customers who are either active or have done business with your company within the past 24 months. NAMA eMail Enhancement is founded on the premise that you are marketing to customers who already have a preexisting relationship with your company. A consumer who makes an inquiry is not considered an established relationship.

What type of opt-out response rate should I expect?
Our preliminary testing has resulted in a very low opt-out rate from the initial emailing (less than 2%) and few customer service inquiries.

Following the email deployment, how soon can I expect results?
Typically 80%of the email responses will occur within the first 48 hours.

What is the best time to deploy my message?
We recommend deployment during the typical weekday. Weekend days often do not generate as favorable a response rate as weekdays.

What kind of steps will be taken to address privacy issues?
There are three steps available to address privacy issues and customer reactions:

  1. The NAMA eMail Enhancement marketing message you send to your customers will include an opt-out provision. With this, it will be easy for your customer to indicate they do not wish to receive email communications from your company. NAMA and our third party email deployment service will handle all aspects of the opt-out process. (For certain marketing campaigns, opt-in provisions may be more appropriate.)
  2. A customer may contact you directly regarding the email communication asking for additional information such as "How do I get off your email list?" These inquiries are more typical and should be addressed promptly. Your customer service department should establish a "Customer-Care" approach for your email campaign and your team should be briefed on how to handle these types of questions.
  3. If you receive a more serious inquiry, such as a customer asking how you got their email address, North American Mailing Associates specifically requires these customers be directed to the defined opt-out phone number or email address.
