A wild guess \u2013 as often as any of us these days. We all get such emails on a daily basis subscribing for news, updates and registering new accounts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those of you, who don\u2019t yet know that this process has a name, a particular function and is regulated legally by the regional laws (to the point your business may have to pay a handsome fee for skipping this procedure), this article is going to be a revelation. For the rest, it\u2019s just gonna be good news because we at <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/QuBU20\" target=\"_blank\">REES46<\/a> now provide you with a Double Opt-in option.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ready to begin? Let\u2019s delve into the basics!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>So, What Does Double Opt-in Mean?<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-362 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/rees46.com\/blog-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/image00-e1487077676118.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"314\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, double opt-in is a two-step confirmation of your subscription. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first time, the future subscriber submits an email and a full name to the web-based form, this data is sent to the email list software. After the initial request is received, it sends this person a confirmation email. The email contains a link the recipient must click to confirm his subscription request.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, John Doe wants to get the REES46 newsletter. John types his first and last name, his email and clicks the subscription button. This is the first opt-in. Our email software then sends John back a confirmation email asking John to click the link to confirm his subscription. This is the second opt-in.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>One Step Is Easier. Why Is Double Opt-in Important?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several reasons why double opt-in is necessary, but there are few why it is essential in the modern world. This procedure confirms that the person, who entered the email, is the owner of the email. If this information is not present, anybody could subscribe anybody.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also from the subscriber\u2019s perspective, double opt-in brings additional security and ensures you didn\u2019t sign up for the newsletters by mistake.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the email list owner\u2019s perspective, it secures real subscribers, who want to be on your list. If you use a single opt-in method, you can end up with a low-quality email list full of people, who didn\u2019t want to be in it. These people will never respond to what you\u2019re offering as they are not your target audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Fewer \u201cSPAM\u201d Complaints And No SPAM Penalty<\/h2>\n<p>A<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All online stores get unsubscribers and \u201cSPAM\u201d complaints. It\u2019s in the human nature to avoid irritating content. People are inclined to mark as SPAM everything that smells even a tiny bit fishy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can write \u201cCLICK TO UNSUBSCRIBE\u201d in big colorful letters, right at the top of an email. You can explain there in details how informative your newsletters are and how people can terminate their subscription in one click, a lot will still click \u201cMark as spam\u201d and get rid of you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using double opt-in you can decrease these situations to a minimum. Clicking on the confirmation link in a new email is the agreement and binds the customer to you. And it\u2019s easier to prevent falling into a spam list than getting out of it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The final point is being a subject to the law system of your country or region you must protect yourself from possible hefty fees and lawsuits requiring expenses on legal representatives. Nobody in the right mind would give the go-ahead to something that would in the future cause million-dollars-worth losses. Especially when the safe path is only a hundred dollars away.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>How to Set Up Double Opt-in<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To enable double opt-in for\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/QuBU20\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">REES46 Suite<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you need to:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose your regional Anti-Spam regulation:<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-364\" src=\"https:\/\/rees46.com\/blog-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/image01-e1487083529417.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"196\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click \u201cSave\u201d to confirm your choice.<\/span><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-365\" src=\"https:\/\/rees46.com\/blog-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/image07-e1487083963695.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"208\" \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now it\u2019s ready to work.
