A poor user of Bidchaser.com (known and documented spammer) wants to know why his end of auction emails aren’t going out to his customers.

The CEO, Leo Cunha, admits that some ISP’s are marking outgoing bidcahser mail as spam. Wonder why that could be?


According to our logs, the emails are going out. We have found out that some services either block some of our outgoing mail, or send them to the “spam” folder, which many people clear without looking at.

I am getting an estimate on adding a link to the closed auctions section, so if an auction or item has sold, the buyer information can be retrieved easily. Will let you know as soon as that is available.

In the meantime, I will research these auctions and provide you with the contact info.

Thanks

Leo

YMSBBC – Yet More Spam By BidChaser!

On August 12, 2005, in E-commerce, by David

You wouldn’t think it would be possible, you’d like Leo Cunha would learn his lesson.

Bidchaser.com has been spamming unsuspecting poor souls again!

You’ll see once again how Leo apologizes for the confusion and his incompetence! Bidchaser supposedly uses that emailmaestro.com non-spamming mechanism, but obviously that isn’t working very well, or Leo didn’t pay for it, or Leo’s an idiot, maybe a little bit of all three. Don’t believe his bullshit!

Dear Members,

Please accept my apologies. We are testing some new designs and marketing concepts for the Bidchaser stores. These were scheduled to be introduced once we had received some iniitial feedback, and are aimed at helping our sellers market niche products to a specific audience.

The mailer was mistakenly sent to our GEARup mailing list instead of the internal staff’s for testing.

This mailer is a sample that has been under development with our marketing partners. As you see, it is in a very raw form without the “wrappers”, headers, footers, disclaimers, etc.

Again, please accept my sincere apologies.

I was hoping to announce this program under better circumstances, and will do so after we get feedback on its effectiveness from our marketing partners. I will be glad to post the “finished product” as it will be mailed to our marketing partners’ subscription-based lists.

Regards,

Leo Cunha
Webmaster, Bidchaser.com

Bidchaser Spams Again!

On May 2, 2005, in E-commerce, by David

UPDATE: I talked to Nick from emailmaestro.com, and he said they won’t allow BidChaser to use their information in any spam attempts. Let’s hope he knows what he’s talking about.

Leo Cunha now refers to “double opt in mailing lists” as ”targeted permission-based email. He was disappointed in the first batch of spam, he promises members that he’ll work to make his spam more digestible! Spam works! He’ll give email maestro a black eye! Beware of Bidchaser!

Mail Marketing

We wanted to thank all of our members who participated in the One Dollar promotion. We worked with the company EmailMaestro to coordinate mailings to a number of targeted permission-based mailing lists.

To be honest, as we review the data from the campaign, we are disappointed with the opens and click-throughs. We are now working directly with EmailMaestro’s staff to improve the content and subject lines of future campaigns. We are also in discussions with two other marketing firms.

Our next scheduled marketing effort will be the release of the DailyAuctionLotto program, in which we will showcase our members’ products and include components of the dollar auction as well as other promotions.
