Email Marketing
We automatically place single pixel gifs, also known as web beacons, in every email sent to our People Unlimited subscribers. These are tiny graphic files that contain unique identifiers that enable us to recognise when our contacts have opened an email or clicked certain links. These technologies record each contact’s email address, IP address, date, and the time associated with each open and click for a campaign. We use this data to create reports about how our email communication performed and to improve our content. We provide an ‘unsubscribe’ button at the end of every email using this technology.
