    Jason: Subscriber Perception – nothing to do with the definition of the spam. Other stats? Length of the form.Annie: Frequently. What is the right number? Should you ask or not? More than half (56.4%) of respondents say they receive high volumes of “junk” from marketers – defined as “email from companies I know but that is just not interesting to me.” “Junk” is second only to “spam” (“email I never asked to receive”) which 65.7% of respondents say they receive in high volumes. One-third say that marketers email them more frequently than promised.Most of this email is simply deleted unread, but subscribers do not hesitate to complain about unwanted messages (reporting the email as spam).
