Zuburbia Named a 2011 Constant Contact All-Star Winner

I am so pleased to announce that Zuburbia has been named a CONSTANT CONTACT ALL STAR WINNER for the third year in a row!

Only 10% of Constant Contact customers reach All Star status each year and, since Zuburbia has managed to do so for three consecutive years, it makes this accomplishment even more noteworthy.

Why am I so particularly proud of this award?

Because I take my responsibility to my readers VERY seriously and this award is a validation that I am treating the most important people at Zuburbia — YOU, my readers — right!

Every time I attend a conference, exchange a business card with someone and suddenly find myself on their mailing list, I remember how many truly talented business people still aren’t aware of the myriad laws surrounding permission-based email marketing.

That conference attendee never received my permission to add me to their list — they just assumed they had my permission.

But that will NEVER happen here at Zuburbia.

And if you’ve ever tried to unsubscribe from a list and three weeks later found yourself having to unsubscribe AGAIN, you should rightly feel frustrated.

But in every Zuburbia email you receive, you’ll always find a simple one-click unsubscribe button to make it easy to manage your subscriptions.

And since qualifying for the All Star Award requires consistently high open rates (greater than 25%), high click-through rates AND low bounce rates, I must send a heartfelt THANK YOU to ALL OF YOU!

Please know that I will never, EVER share or sell your information with other companies, that you’re free to leave my lists easily at any time (although I’m always sad to see you go), and that I will only mail to readers who legitimately opt-in to my lists (unlike many, many other companies who are illegally scrubbing names from websites and blogs).

Thank you for allowing me to share my Zuburbia insights with you and please continue to share your thoughts with me via email (mkincaid at zuburbia.com), Facebook and Twitter.

ZOZOZO

(That’s hugs and kisses Zuburbia style!)
