Email
appending is a controversial practice in the email marketing world, with
critics claiming that sending email to people who never explicitly opted-in is
against best practices. An email appending process involves either a business
or consumer database made up of contacts including their name, address and
company name.
Scrub email
lists through a proprietary stepwise validation process. If the company wants
to expand into email communication, then they can involve a service provider
that has a database of email addresses in order to merge the data together and
append business or consumer email addresses to their existing file. In this way
they can have an updated database with the current email address of individuals
on the list. The success of email appending depends on the quality of both
databases being merged.
