Is It Professional To Use Insulting Words In Email Marketing To Get Attention? by Flirtyjane(op): 12:41pm On Nov 20, 2020
I have seen a lot of email marketers used catchy and captivating email subjects to get the attention of their subscribers.


Then until recently, my uncle received one from self-acclaimed best copywriter in Nigeria telling his subscribers they are big fool.

Below is the content of the email

Subject: You are big fool

Body:

{{name}}, you are very big fool if you don't do what I'm about to ask you to do...

Listen... there's a video on YouTube right now,

Out of over 8Billion humans alive,

Only 120,000 people have seen that video.

And it will soon be taken down

Why?

Because it never should have been released to the general public in the first place

The video is the recording of Gary Halbert's Direct Marketing Secrets Seminar.

Do yourself a favour.

Go watch that video

Here's the LINK: youtube.com/watch?v=--------------------(link removed)

DOn't just watch it,

Download it, and have it saved in a secure drive

If possible, send it to cloud.

Look, if you've not seen this video before...

And you don't watch it ... even... download and save it in a secure drive

You are big fool.

Stay frosty.

A.


It is like the guy got some tongue lashing, and then he back to his Twitter and reiterated that he will continue to insult his subscribers.


Is this a professional way of email marketing or copywriting?
