For an online retailer whose lifeblood is its web site, it's especially crucial to adhere to proper e-mail marketing techniques to avoid even the perception by recipients that their messages are unwanted or "spam."
The crux of the matter is that legitimate CAN-SPAM compliant, or even "double opt-in", messages can be flagged by recipients as spam very easily with the simple click of a button in their respective e-mail client software.
Once recipients click their "spam" button, your domain may be added to an Internet "blacklist" that ISP's use as a filter to prevent their members from receiving unwanted mail. Once this happens, even routine transactional e-mails like order confirmations or shipping notifications that come from your domain will not be able to get through to the recipient. And, worse yet, your e-mail deliverability in general (even to future customers) can be jeopardized depending on which blacklist your domain is on (ie. how widespread the use of that particular blacklist is).
The bottom line—as you go into the holiday season, be very careful in your e-marketing promotions. Use only "appropriate" lists, don't overuse (ie. abuse) them, and do everything possible to make the content as appealing and relevant as possible so it is desirable to recipients.
Here are a couple of good articles on the subject:
