The ultimate spam filter: consumer choice Description: DoubleClick Inc.s recent survey highlights what is for legitimate marketers a disturbing reaction to flooded online mailboxes: fed up consumers are expanding their definition of spam to include even some permission-based e-mail. In Double Clicks Consumer Email Study, released in October, 65% of men and 56% of women say theyve broadened their definition of spam to include e-mail from a company that I have done business with but that comes too often. Some 61% of men surveyed specifically said that they view e-mails that are permission-based but that come too frequently as spam, as did 55% of the women surveyed. Moreover, though e-mail marketers tend to define spam as unsolicited materials sent in very high volumes to compiled lists, consumers define it more broadly. 36% of men and 32% of women now consider as spam any e-mail that tries to sell me a product or service.
