Friday, November 16th, 2007 |

I’ve been asked in the past if website newsletters are legitimate sources for shopping online and if they can be trusted.

The following are elements that every newsletter should incorporate:

1) Following CanSpam regulations - These are legal requirements that should be followed when distributing a newsletter. These rules try to eliminate spamming of people’s email accounts.

A) Double Opt-in sign-up - All legitimate newsletters should provide for a double opt-in process where the individual not only signs up for the newsletter but must verify the sign-up via a verification link that is sent to their email. This allows for a protective measure of only receiving newsletters that you want.
