I think this question could refer to the age group you are targeting. Some people like very much to be kept up to date. Others (and they are often older, on average) have very little interest in reading the contents of their in-boxes, even when they are from people they know well. This is not meant to be an ageist comment, BTW (I'ts Anti-Ageism Week at the moment). It's just that society has become much more extrovert in the past twenty years and tactics that would be considered rude or intrusive in the past seem to be the norm now. |
