excessive spam tends to make us think less of their product, not more.

There's probably a sweet spot frequency interval where "offers"
actually strike the target and gain the recipients interest, and as
someone who made it their life's goal to be SURE I never invest time
trying to learn the art of effective marketing I can't claim to know
what that interval is, but I don't think incessant spam is the ticket.

Yeah, I agree. Too few emails and I will forget your site even exists,
too many and I will become numb to them and just ignore all of them.

That is exactly what happened with GOG for me. I agree with Spalls
here too. Those 24 hour so and so game expires emails from them are
both excessive and annoying. They need to fucking tell you what game
is being offered in the subject header. They don't and so I have had
enough. I just delete them immediately.

Most of my main email is spam I never read. On the other hand, the only
thing that my secondary email gets spammed by is Tumblr.
