Adding SMA To Your White-List

 What is a White-List?

Simply put, it is a list of unblocked email addresses and/or website domain names that are authorized by the user to bypass any email blocking programs installed on their computer. In other words, it allows you to designate what communication you'd like to receive.  

It is a simple procedure that you can perform in minutes by following the directions we've provided below.  Once completed you'll enjoy peace of mind knowing that you'll get our tips, newsletters and articles. If you have any questions about white-listing, don't hesitate to  Contact Us via email, or phone our offices at: 843.851.2118.

Why Is White-Listing Necessary?

Recently, many email users and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have experienced serious problems with huge numbers of unsolicited, unwanted email advertising - often referred to as "spam". StrategicMarketingAdvisors.com never sends any unsolicited email - we use only permission marketing and opt-in marketing.

Therefore, many ISPs have taken measures to automatically filter email that may be interpreted as "spam". These automatic systems are not perfect, so sometimes authentic opt-in communications from StrategicMarketingAdvisors.com, may also become caught in the spam filters, even though you have clearly given us permission to contact you.

The Benefits of White-Listing

By white-listing StrategicMarketingAdvisors.com Newsletter, you're letting your ISP know that you want to receive email from StrategicMarketingAdvisors.com, and therefore help ensure that our email communications can reach you.

IMPORTANT: even though you may currently be receiving our email messages without any problems, we still advise customers to white-list us now - before any problems might occur in the future.
