ArcaMax Publishing is a privately owned American web/email syndication news publisher that provides editorial content, columns & features, comic strips, and editorial cartoons via email.Eckerle, Courtney."CASE STUDY: Email Deliverability: Publisher moves beyond double opt-in to avoid 1,000 hard bounces per day," Marketing Sherpa (May 21, 2013). ArcaMax also produces co-branded newsletters with corporate clients.
The company is based in Newport News, Virginia. Its revenue comes from advertising. Potential subscribers typically come from topical banners or co-registration for related topical sites or newsletters; as this approach can be exploited by spam purveyors, the company conducts an initial source evaluation before contacting potential subscribers by email to complete a "double opt-in" circuit aimed to decrease the amount of company resources expended on un-deliverable email communications, while at the same time reducing to a minimum the number of emails sent to people who are not interested in receiving them.
