Short and dirty: not spam, if done right. Or spam, if done badly!
One and done! I suppose this could fall under the Grey Area option in the poll...Short and dirty: not spam, if done right. Or spam, if done badly!
Agreed, but there are some cases where I MUST do it. Sometimes the domain is either an exact match to their company or organization name OR something about the domain just screams "WHY DONT YOU ALREADY OWN THIS ?", in which case I do a gentle reminder.If there is no reply, in my opinion I would never contact a second time.
i am in a similar situation with an I T name.a couple of co's are using optixxxxxx.com and grupoxxxxxx.com.they can each drop opti and grupo and use my exact name match.they don't have mgmt listed and there email is just gmail.nothing from first contact,very frustrating.Agreed, but there are some cases where I MUST do it.

Right now I have a medical company that sells a certain product and the domain is their company name, but in .COM and am gently trying to tell them "WHY DONT YOU ALREADY OWN THIS ?" but have not contacted the right people yet, I assume....
I do outbound but only to potential leads in my mailing list. Like say, someone purchased a domain from me in the past or inquired about some other domains, I often send to them my updated portfolio or bargain-priced domains I want to liquidate fast. My outbounds are replies to past emails. Unsolicited emails - NO.
Spam is Spam, regardless of the "noble" reasons and no matter how you sugar-coat the process.
Don't spam! Setup landers or marketplace instead.
Here's why I voted "it depends"...Here is why I voted SPAM...
They are all registered on the platform (my marketplace - see signature below), with built-in personalized bulk mailing system and users can always opt-out from receiving future emails or delete their accounts So far, none has.Is there more to it? On the cover that actually seems worse than reaching out to potential buyers, what you consider SPAM.
I've had people email me about certain names, inbound. It could be very specific, let's say a jewelry name. But I would never email them again just because my portfolio updated or I have some names I want to unload. Because they didn't contact me for that, they contacted me for a specific name. Unless, as an example, we couldn't agree on a price and later I lowered the price, and I emailed them again about it.
That's why I was wondering if there was more to it. They opted in to continue to receive emails from you?

A lot of people now see the Unsubscribe option as merely being a way that tells spammers that the email is active rather than will actually remove them from any further communications. To combat this, it's more common to just mark these emails as spam so that the provider or client deals with it in future.users can always opt-out from receiving future emails or delete their accounts So far, none has.
