“MARKETING STRATEGIES THAT EMPOWER SUCCESS”
LESSON #7 – Triggers That May Cause Email Filters To Delete Your Email —————————————————————–
What an unfortunate fate for of all that beautiful sales copy! To keep from having your messages go down the drain, you need to know the words, phrases, and characters that will cause your email to be treated like it has The Plague — isolated and left to die alone.
In today`s “Marketing Strategies that EMPOWER Success,”
lesson you`re going to learn certain words and numeric characters that activate spam filters. If your email or subject line contains these “hot button” words, it`s good-bye consumer and hello trash bin.
==========================================
Trigger Words & Characters That May Cause Email Filters To Delete Your Email -or- How To Avoid Shooting Yourself in the Foot on the Internet ==========================================
Foolish, short-sighted marketers have created a “crisis” in email in much the same way unscrupulous telemarketers gave THAT business a bad name. (There`s nothing wrong with telemarketing, per se, just with shady telemarketers and the ones who interrupt dinner!)
By sending millions upon millions of unsolicited messages, “bulk marketers” have turned consumers into enemies and their email boxes into barricaded fortresses with fortified perimeters. Utter the wrong word — one of the “dreaded”
TRIGGER WORDS that email filters know and hate — and you`re wasting your time.
Your message will be deleted instantly and your carefully crafted offer — with all those brilliant headlines and benefits, the terrific bonuses, the zero-risk guarantee, and the irresistible post-script…none of it will ever be read!
What a waste.
THE HALLS OF JUSTICE
The U.s. Congress has even gotten in on the act (pardon the
pun) of trying to cut down on the garbage truckloads of unsolicited email that`s flying through cyberspace. In 2003, the CAN SPAM Act became official, with laws that supercede state spam laws and fairly clearly spell out what is and is not acceptable and required when it comes to sending email. Janet Wilson, owner of Empowerism, has written a user-friendly summary and article about the CAN SPAM act, which is available in the latest issue of Empowerism`s Excellence magazine.
So how can you ensure that your emails make “safe harbor” in a cold, cruel, and unwelcoming cyber-world? Good question.
The best way to help your message reach the eyes that you want to see them is to familiarize yourself with the TRIGGER WORDS AND CHARACTERS that activate filters and get your message a one-way ticket to the trash. Get to know them and then never use them.
Here`s the trick: JUNK AND ADULT CONTENT FILTERS work by looking for specific KEYWORDS, key phrases, and key characters (like the dollar symbol, for example). Filters check the To and From addresses for these keywords. Then they go hunting for those words in the subject line and the body of the message, or in a combination of the two to see what`s being used and over-used.
=> USE WITH CARE
“Over-used” is an important part of the trigger word equation. A single use of the word “fr ee” (as an example), probably won`t “raise an eyebrow” on a common filter. But use the word a dozen times and it`s “Goodbye Charlie.”
=> THE EMPOWERISM “Z” LIST (as opposed to the “A” list)
To serve you better, Empowerism has compiled an up-to-the-minute list of common “trigger” words and combinations that when used – or overused – activate spam filters. Use this information to wrap your messages in a protective “force field” that even the most powerful filters will pass right over.

Today, you`ve learned how to protect your messages from being deleted by spam filters. Next time, we`re going to talk about how to make sure your messages are hitting the right target audience to ensure a “bullseye” for selling.
