What is spam?

Updated: June 17, 2022

From time to time, someone will ask, “What is spam?”. My first reaction is to think they are kidding but then I realize that some folks actually do now know the answer. So, here is my response to “What is spam?”

The basic idea is that if you are sending any sort of ad, offer, or promotion, that someone didn’t actually ask for, you are spamming that person.

The formal definition can be seen at WhatCounts.com. Even more information and history of the term can be found at TodayIFoundOut.com.

What is spam? When talking about email marketing, it’s a terrible idea and can really cause you a lot of problems if you don’t take it seriously.
