Since logging in a week or two ago I’ve begun receiving multiple emails a day from OGR. While you can click “manage your preferences” at the bottom of the emails you literally have no choice of preferences: it’s all or nothing. (At least on my iPhone that’s what I see in the Safari browser.)

If logging into the forum creates a “push” in your software for emails going forward you may want to begin trying to categorize the offers into broad categories to better align user interests instead of the “all or nothing” approach.

I understand the marketing effort but multiple emails a day is a frequency I usually don’t see. With most companies I can tailor the amount or specific topics I’m interested in with some varying degrees of success. I’m sure someone will suggest “you can just delete them” but I didn’t take an active step to begin receiving them.

Please consider the idea of adding categories/topics to solicitations if your mailing software will let you.

Take care,

Jim

I see where someone else mentioned this a few days ago and got a reply that began with “Really...”

I don’t think that the other poster or I are trying to put the OGR staff on the defensive here. (Our being a subscriber shouldn’t weight our opinion on this either. I’ve always bought OGR from your partner hobby stores.) If the immediate reaction is to chide us I don’t think that is helpful.

Everyone understands that the forum and the magazine need to generate revenue and direct, targeted solicitation makes sense. 

Right now its “all or nothing” when some simple categories could go a long way towards helping. It also means that if someone selects “unsubscribe” your advertisers have lost that window.

Take care

The 'all or nothing' approach to the advertising e-mails may be counter productive. I was receiving so many 'OGR' e-mails a day, every day, my ISP flagged them as SPAM and started tossing them in the proverbial 'bit bucket'. So I never received them in my e-mail client. I didn't discover this until this morning when I logged directly into my account on line to change a setting and noticed a bunch of 'OGR' e-mails in the SPAM folder.

If there were an option to limit the e-mails to the things I'm interested in, this probably wouldn't have happened.
