New York, New York (PRWEB) June 25, 2012
Keep Holdings announced today that it has acquired the unsubscribr.com service from Ninth Peak Industries, rounding out the “Inbox Management Service” of Swizzle to include safe, private and easy unsubscribing from unwanted email subscriptions. The service is called “Swizzle Sweeper” and can be found at theswizzle.com.
The Swizzle Gallery launched in May 2012 to help consumers manage new brand relationships without the need for conventional email sign-ups. Adding the Swizzle Sweeper fixes the biggest problem consumers have faced with email overload by providing the ability to cancel huge numbers of unwanted subscriptions with a few simple clicks. Now, consumers can use this industry-first offering to clean up their inboxes and keep them clean with this unique package of integrated services.
“We love everything Ninth Peak Industries did in building unsubscribr.com. The service is effective, respectful to its users, and has successfully cleaned up tens of thousands of email accounts, resulting in the most positive consumer feedback I’ve seen for a new service,” states MaryAnn Bekkedahl, President of Keep Holdings. “We’re proud to integrate it into Swizzle as the Swizzle Sweeper, and in doing so, bring this wonderful tool to consumers who wish to better manage their relationships with brands online.”
Scott Kurnit, Keep Holdings CEO added, “Email has always been the killer app on the Internet for personal and brand communications. 77% of people prefer email for permission-based marketing to only 9% for Direct Mail and an astonishingly low 4% for Facebook*. Swizzle is a much-needed innovation in the email marketing space, providing excellent consumer-first control over engagement with the brands in their lives. Unsubscribr was one of the most productive and enjoyable products I’ve ever used on the Internet. I couldn’t be more pleased to have it as part of the Keep Holdings family and an anchor benefit for Swizzle and Internet users everywhere.”
