Here’s How to Keep Your WHAV Wavelengths Subscription Active

Those who often overlook their emails or simply glance at previews of this Wavelengths eNewsletter in their email applications risk losing their free subscriptions.

The reason isn’t sinister. WHAV’s Wavelengths has a healthy reputation among internet service providers because this eNewsletter follows industry-accepted practices and automatically stops sending emails after three to six months of inactivity. This helps ensure Outlook, Yahoo, Gmail and other providers don’t prevent Wavelengths from being delivered to the vast majority of subscribers who rely on it.

Following this practice also ensures the top-of-the-page banner truly reaches the audience underwriters expect. Unfortunately, some bulk emailers promise large email lists, but have extremely low deliverability because they don’t follow accepted practices.

To keep your subscription from falling into inactive status, open Wavelengths on a regular basis and click on headlines to read the stories that matter most to you.

If you know of others who would enjoy receiving Wavelengths, tell them there is a signup form here. After subscribing, recipients receive an email to confirm their interest.
