SuiteSuccess Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 I sent all registrants an email from our site eastcoasthdtrally.com concerning Gregg Shields retirement (and absence from the ECR) and his gracious consent to allow the information that he was to present to still be presented. I used the email addresses given from your registration forms and those addresses were not shared as in a group mailing but should have been individual mailings. We are able to track the stats of that mailing and all were delivered but only 26% have been opened and read. I am posting here in that the mailing may have shown up in your junk file or spam file. If so it is a legitimate email and not spam and I encourage you to read it. It should be titled from info@eastcoasthdtrally.com.

Just wanted folks to know we will still be presenting the information Gregg was to present. 2006 Volvo 780 "Hoss" Volvo D12, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift Bed Build by "JW Morgan's Custom Welding" 2017 DRV 39DBRS3 2013 Smart Passion Coupe "Itty Bitty" "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living.

Easy to find once I used the e-mail address you sent it from in the search of the spam folder. Surprisingly, it did not show up when I searched "All Mail" for the same e-mail address.

SuiteSuccess Posted March 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Original email. “Greetings Folks, I was just informed that Gregg Shields (RVH Lifestyles) is going to be unable to attend the ECR this year due to an unexpected scheduling conflict. Gregg normally presents several seminars pertaining to the the search, purchase, conversion, and costs of an HDT. He was gracious enough to provide those presentations to me and that infomation will still be presented albeit not by Gregg himself. We have also added some actual hard data from a couple that chose to purchase an HDT (a new truck) and 5er and their actual costs involved for comparison. We will also be presenting speakers who will talk about less expensive truck and bed options. Gregg is a great presenter but I want you to know that the information will still be available for anyone looking to make decisions. I am sending this email because I know several persons may be coming to the rally specifically to meet and hear Gregg and if you choose to withdraw from the rally please inform me either by replying to this email or to ecrcarl at gmail dot com so that I may issue a refund. Again, if you are looking to make a decision about an HDT, part-timing, or full timing, I think the ECR will provide you plenty of information and first hand experience so we look forward to seeing those that would like to attend.” Carl 2006 Volvo 780 "Hoss" Volvo D12, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift Bed Build by "JW Morgan's Custom Welding" 2017 DRV 39DBRS3 2013 Smart Passion Coupe "Itty Bitty" "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living.

I’ll speak to my tech guru (David Dixon) and see if he can identify the issue. Regardless I posted the email above for all to read.

RickW Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Carl, If the majority of the people who did not receive the email are Gmail/Google users, you(David) can contact Gmail about getting "white listed". I periodically have to do this for my companies myself. Google is very aggressive about spam. It is estimated by some industry gurus that spam make up approximately 75% of all eMail sent. With the infrequency of you sending out blast eMails and not being white listed, Gmail assumed you were spam due to receiving multiple eMails with the same content basically simultaneously. 2017 Entegra Anthem 44A SOLD - 2004 Volvo 780. 465hp and 10sp Auto Shift (from 2010~2017) SOLD - 2009 Montana 3400RL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkoenig24 Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 I got SOME email re Gregg Shields retirement and his NOT being at the ECR so, if THAT was the email you're referring to, I DID get it, opened it, read it and, deleted it. Whewwwww. I expect to see you all at the ECR unless the closing on my house gets pushed up. By the end of May, I should be home-free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
