HUGE increase in gmail addresses - BAD for your business


First of all, YES, I have a gmail address.  I enjoy it!  It's used almost every time I buy something online, subscribe to a newsletter and/or I join a list.  What does that tell you?  It means it's my junk mail email address.  And it works so well to deliver my junk to me that I look at it about 24 times a year.  Yep, it's on my Outlook calendar to look at twice a month.  Usually I get to it and I did this morning.  It takes me about 15 minutes each time to scan through all the garbage and only interact with what I need.  For this, I LOVE my gmail.

Now, ask me where I spend my every day all day?  It's not in my gmail.  That said, I've seen and have the metrics to show that there has been a HUGE number of companies or people using gmail as their primary work email address and it's KILLING their ability to get to my inbox.  I'm nobody special, just a guy who lives in his inbox buying and selling goods for the better of our company. If you are trying to get INTO my inbox, you're not getting there.  It's not working.  

This is why I'm writing you this blog to read.  Let's see if you do!

I have received, in the last two weeks, in my gmail and my junk mail folder over 1,910 emails from persons with gmail.com addresses as their sender address and EVERY single one of those I have NOT looked at until my routine today.  Everything from singles"blahblah"@gmail.com to furniture"blahblah"@gmail.com and even marketingpro"blahblah"@gmail.com.

I did look at emails from "blahblah"@marketingpr...com and "blahblah"@card....com however and either filed them away, swiped them to archive or replied to them.  In fact in my usage charts I send and receive OVER 3 times the number of emails every day than the second and third person in my company, COMBINED.  The number would blow your mind.

I have rules in my inbox that immediately throw away any email from aol.com, yahoo.com, gmail.com and other freemail programs because they don't belong in my circle of professionals with respect to my work email.

Are you one of the people that are getting ignored in my inbox?  We'll help you, just pick a domain name and we'll get you your very own accurately addressed to the inbox/email to me and other folks like me.  Reach out to our staff at http://www.ryantechinc.com
