What is email marketing?

Answer:
Email marketing is a form of advertising

sent over electronic mail. It is usually considered a type of spam.

Email marketing is similar to telemarketing in that automated 'advertisements' are sent to your email address instead of your answering machine. Email marketing is generally frowned upon by both individuals and governments, and most companies are starting to move away from email marketing.

Enewsletters are a form of email marketing. The difference between email marketing and telemarketing is email marketing requires you visit a site and/or subscribe to a newsletter. It is not like telemarketing in that you have to actually do business with a company before they can send telemarketers your way. With email marketing, you only have to visit a particular website to get advertisements sent your way.

Email marketing is a very annoying and very intrusive type of advertising.
