Well, if you want a certain kind of email promotion, why not request it?

Plenty of people request direct mail promotional offers, and plenty more

apply for the kind of offers that guarantee they will get on lists.


So why has nobody yet done this (in the UK at least)? It would be dead

simple. If there was a service called "Send Me Whisky Offers," by which you

could add your name to a list that sent out occasional mail-order offers on

malt brands, I would subscribe, as long as it were done by a reliable

supplier and they did it responsibly  (eg automatic and immediate

unsubscribe). Would be much more useful than the crummy Daily Telegraph Wine

Club mailshot that I put straight in the bin every time it arrives (and

much, much cheaper for the promoters).


A list broker could then build up and mine a database of subscribers, with

subscribers choosing their interests. If the service went OTT with emails,

then users would vote with their feet. The service could be used to mail out

coupons, promote special offers, and generally keep people in touch.


Anyone fancy setting something like this up, let me know.
