Thank you for reminding me. Staci, Jai Creations - publishers who believe in bringing unique product to the literary marketplace. If anything, your story serves as an illustration of why it's always important to be extra careful when sending anyone quasi-promotional email, even if they've requested it. Actually, if the invitation you sent was a form letter, I'm not surprised the woman didn't remember you. Either work an invitation into the text of a personal email, or include your signature file at the end.
People know what they're getting into when they opt-in.
They can opt-out at any time. Anything automated is ripe for abuse, but if used carefully these and other automated email tools can be effective, useful, and welcome to recipients. It turns out to be easier said than done. I clicked the link and found myself on a remove page. This page required you to input your First and Last Name and your email address, then click the button to be removed.
