    It seemed like an interesting topic to me. Spam affects both Internet users and online businesses and the latter must be very careful that their e-mail marketing does not turn into spam. I think it not only depends on the amount of advertising emails they send but on the content and the writing, sometimes it is of such poor quality that it makes one question the seriousness of the business. I think you always have to do the exercise of seeing how we see ourselves as a business from the outside and how customers perceive us. I liked the article 🙂 greetings
