Subspace Email Newsletter Campaign

[aquarius]

Hey Subspace,

As many of you already know, I've been plotting an email newsletter campaign for Subspace. I'm thoroughly plotting the first of what will hopefully be monthly Subspace newsletters.

I just want to share what I've devised with the community and ask for ideas, thoughts, critique, suggestions, assistance, resources, etc.

 

 

Here's what I've done so far:

 

• Purchased a SendGrid account. I can send 40,000 emails per month with my current plan.
• Collected a total of 11,386 Subspace player's email addresses. If anyone is holding on to any subspace emails, or can access a database of emails (for example from zone forums, registrations) - please consider contributing them to this cause. Export a .csv or .txt
• Created a template using SendGrid's template creator .. in this way I was able to be sure the template is utilizing industry-standard format.
• Collected zone descriptions and current news from: Trench Wars, Extreme Games, Hyperspace, Death Star Battle and Devastation. Wish I had more, but that's all I received upon request. I waited a few weeks and asked every major zone. No longer waiting. If you are reading this and represent a zone that isn't mentioned above - please send me a detailed zone description.

 

The template looks like this so far: (just the top part, the rest of the zones are listed in the same fashion)

It includes all the proper / standard unsubscribe buttons and whatnot. I'm creating this by the book.

 

Any thoughts? Suggestions? Critique?

 

Thanks Subspace,

I had over 500 e-mails. But most of my e-mails i got from DSB league site back in 2008 etc. I assume you already visited league.nu and hijacked all the e-mails.

No Lone, I have not visited league.nu. I also don't know how to 'hijack' emails unless you were referring to me contacting Argyle and asking for them. Do you have them or should I contact Argyle? My email is krynetixss@gmail.com if you have them (or if anyone has any).

 

Thanks.

By hijacked, simply if you had an account there, and logged in, you could view everyones e-mail, might be limited to your own squad, but i was in a few squads throughout the years. Logging on would grant me access to everyones e-mail in the squads i've played for.

 

But sure i'll send you all the e-mails i have by e-mailing you.

 

Keep in mind probably 60% of them expired. You'll probably get a lot of mailer-daemon failed to deliver reports back.

 

A good idea is to contact the Hockey league, DSB league.nu, and any other league website admins, and ask them for e-mail lists. As they will have tons of e-mails from people who registered for the leagues over the years.

 

Also your representations of subspace zones just won't be complete without Hockey zone. Try get something from Hockey zone.
