What should I bear in mind when deregistering?
A unsubscribe link must be placed in every newsletter in an easily accessible manner for legal reasons, allowing subscribers to unsubscribe from the email distribution list with a single click (Single-Opt-out). After clicking the unsubscribe link, the subscriber is immediately removed and redirected to a target URL (dialog page).
In theory, a confirmation email like "You have successfully unsubscribed" could already be considered spam.
Therefore, it is always better to offer a simple unsubscription. This helps your former subscribers remember you positively, and they may re-subscribe if they regain interest. For subscribers who accidentally unsubscribed, you can provide the option to re-subscribe on the unsubscribe confirmation page.
To understand the reason for an unsubscription, you can include a short survey on your unsubscribe confirmation page.
Common reasons for unsubscription:
- Newsletter was sent too frequently
- Topics are no longer relevant to the reader
- Duplicate subscriptions in the email distribution list
- Too many promotional or sales offers in the newsletter
- Reader changes their email address and no longer wishes to receive old newsletters
- Reader wants to tidy up their emails and reduce the number of messages received
