Should You Switch To Single Opt-In For Email Marketing?

November 8, 2017 / By Opt-Intelligence

We’re big proponents of double opt-in email marketing, which requires an initial welcome email to validate a user’s email address and allow them a second chance to “opt out.” New subscribers to your email marketing list need to click the link in this welcome email to confirm they would like to join the list.

They offer helpful email marketing tips and a wide array of service levels to fit just about every business owner’s needs. Some might even say they are the “gold standard” of Email Service Providers.

As a consumer interacts with a brand online, they are faced with a number of places and ways to join their email list.
