Dear Marketer, Here’s Why I Unsubscribed

Dear Marketer,

I need to unsubscribe. From your email list. You know the one…

Don’t take it personally. Please. Pretty Please.

I’m not gonna see “Inbox Zero” maybe ever, so I need to make a few sacrifices.

In fact, Marketer, I can’t remember why I signed up in the first place.

You might have been the one who suggested I take a look at your video – but then asked me for my email address before I got full access.

Or maybe you were the one who wanted me to “Like” you on Facebook so I could get a special gift.

Sure, I might have been interested then. Or maybe just curious.

In any event, it’s time for us to part ways.

But first, some advice for you – take it for what it’s worth. I don’t want to be one of “those” people, you know the ones, they tell you all the bad things about you while they’re breaking up with you. That’s not my style. So, consider this constructive feedback. Please.

Marketer, I’m just not that into you.

I liked your one piece – maybe, it’s been so long I can’t remember. Or it could have been your “call to action” – how romantic that was. The value was almost priceless – or maybe it was valued at $495 but was mine free. I can’t recall.

See, when I need you, I need you now.

Whatever it is you provide, there’s not much value left if you provided it ages ago. I need you stopping by from time-to-time, saying hello, and seeing what I need. I need you to give me something I can use – not just tell me how great you are.

Or maybe I just forgot that you exist.

I don’t know.

Don’t take it personally. Our paths may cross again.

I won’t forget you.

Wait, maybe I already did.

Regards,

Dave
