I'm trying to convince management at our small agency that it's rather unwise to continue with our own home-grown email marketing solutions. I've used some top-reputable ASPs such as Constant Contact, Silverpop, plus cheaper ones like VerticalResponse. Evaluating at a few robust solutions that may require some investment -- not looking for suggestions. Trying to convince our management to consolidate all of these with one provider and get out of the business of handling it in-house on our mail servers (and IP address). The CFO is the toughest sell.
Please share any true stories of instances where the CAN-SPAM law has actually had teeth and forced legitimate marketers (or careless ones) to pay fines. Some people feel what's the harm in inadvertently sending to people who may have opted out -- it's an honest mistake, they fell through the cracks.
