I don’t know about you, but I’ve been experiencing a noticeable uptick in the amount of spam emails I’m receiving. These aren’t just run of the mill financing, recruiting or offshore developer ones; rather they are emails from local businesses, but with absolutely no relevancy to MoreVisibility.

Maybe someone messed up the sic code that’s associated with MoreVisibility or possibly there are some bad lists being sold, but stocking our (non-existent) lake is not high on our to-do list. The fact that a business is located in a certain geographic area doesn’t mean they’re a prospect for every business.
No matter the channel, it’s important to invest the time to target your prospects as precisely as possible. Don’t cheapen your brand with poorly conceived, ill-targeted marketing campaigns, email or other.
