Mostly, they're given to us directly by the interested party. We mainly correspond with people we have a bussiness relationship with, i.e., customers and suppliers. Some other emails we gather from our contact form on our website, which are usually prospective customers asking for quotations, and the occasional prospective supplier offering products they consider we may be interested in.
We don't have subscriptions lists, i.e., we don't send massive emails. Almost all of our emails are targeted towards a unique recipient. As such, we don't have an unsuscribe link or option in the email. When people don't want to continue receiving our mails, they usually write us to provide an alternative, updated address the emails should be addressed to... or they may provide an additional address they want us to send another copy of the emails to.
And I say "almost" because we have send (kind of) massive emails. They were Christmas Card emails send to our regular clients and main suppliers. But they weren't that "massive", I mean, I entered the emails one by one, by hand.
That's a though one. I mean 50 seems pretty low but, how many would it be enough? There's two people sending email from the infantex.com.mx domain. Yesterday, I sent 20 emails. Let's say the other person sends another 20. Then, there's this account (info) we use to answer emails we receive from the contact form, on a busy day that would be 5-10 (there's days we don't receive any). An also the "fiscal" account (cfdi) which we use to send invoices, etc. During our high season (back-to-school) we would be making five shipments daily but, mostly, invoices have to be sent to multiple addresses (the buyer and her assistants, accounts payable, warehouse, the occasional manager...), so it may be around 20. All in all, 100 emails a day may suffice, I would go with 200, just to be on the safe side.
I'm attaching several samples:
A reply to a request for quotation from a regular client.
Sending new price list to a regular customer.
A reply to a customer asking us to participate in a promotion event.
A shipment notification.
A conversation with our bank executives.
Regards,
P.S. I tried to attach the emails but they were rejected with a message that the maximum total size for attachments is only 21.8 kB (is that correct? I didn't use to have this problem).
Instead, I uploaded them to a folder in my site: https://infantex.com.mx/files/email-samples/
