Consumer Activism to Stop Spam is Not All Baloney: Visitors to Demand That Websites Display SpamFrit Spam-Free Initiative Validation Sticker on Home P

Santa Cruz, CA (PRWeb) March 22, 2007 -- Today Percolator Press announced the launch of SPAMFRIT.ORG the Spam-Free Initiative that asks consumers to look for a SpamFrit Spam-Free Initiative Validation Sticker on the sites that they visit. The sticker will show that the site that a consumer visits today will not be responsible for slowing down their productivity tomorrow by using their email addresses fro spam.



A SPAMFRIT.Org spokesperson commented, "The billions of Spam email sent daily is as detrimental to the web as viruses, but viruses get all the press because the damage is more obvious. Spam is responsible for billions of dollars in lost productivity, (see http://www.percolator.com/spamstats.html) and fighting it is a billion dollar industry, with the consumers picking up the tabs at both ends. It's time that consumers fought back!"

SpamFrit believes that it can make a difference:
SPAMFRIT.Org believes that," Spam is a very simple business model: either someone has to purchase something from the spam, or the spammer has to be paid by a company to send it. Remove the cash and you remove the problem. We believe that consumers can influence U.S. companies not to use spam, and we are starting an awareness campaign to tell consumers why they should never respond to spam offers.

Household names send spam:
Not all spam is sent by mysterious Russian or Chinese companies offering fake Viagra, or by criminals phishing for bank account details. Many highly respected U.S. 'household name' companies contribute to spam in a big way through promotional broadcasts. During March 2007, all of the following companies were featured in spam: General Mills; Nike; Coca Cola; Coach; Pepsi Cola; Chili's; Home Depot; Gevalia; The Sharper Image; Bed, Bath & Beyond; Macy's; J. C. Penney; NBC; Circuit City; Pizza Hut and Red Lobster, to name only a few. (http://www.percolator.com/currentcorporations.html).

Does your company use spam?
If your company sends spam, please stop.

Does your marketing company use spam?
Ask your ad agency if they use spam - you may be surprised to know that your company is contributing to the problem, and if they are please ask them to stop.

If your company does not send spam,
Tell your visitors that you do not endorse the use of spam by placing the SpamFrit.Org validation sticker on your home page. (http://www.percolator.com/joinus.html )

What can consumers do?
Consumers should look for the SPAMFRIT Spam-Free Initiative validation sticker on the websites that they visit, and if they do not see one, they should email the company (normally found at a contact us link on the site) and ask them to add the sticker to show that the site does not use spam, or you will boycott their site.
