"It’s that change in domain that likely sent the majority of the emails into spam folders, an easily-avoided mistake." The real mistake was in sending the begging emails in the first place; after all, he's supposed to be self-funding!

*  Nigerian spam scammers would love to get their hands on the Trump mailing list, so as to target the most gullible and ignorant.
*  no self funding? what's a fundraiser got to do with self funding? i trusted he would do this on his own!!!!!
*  Trump the spammer trying to bolster his scampaign...
*  trump's fund mailing email operations are being handled by graduates of trump university
*  If the simple minded are going to go out of their way to attend rallies held by the billionaire they are dumb enough to send him the little money they have. I thought Trump was self-funding? I guess $10 billion dollars doesn't go as far as it used to so he needs their lunch money. Something doesn't make sense?
*  The world's smartest businessman apparently still hasn't figured out that old email thingy.
*  That is hilarious and why having your family managed your election on the cheap is never a great idea.
*  But, but I thought the Donald only had the BEST of the BEST working for him.
*  When spam filters are wiser than 40% of the Republican party, it's time to be afraid.
*  What happened to the multibilionaire 'self-funding' candidate? Was that all a LIE?  Of course, Mark Cuban says Mr Trump doesn't even have $1 Billion left, and Mr Cuban should be a pretty good judge on that.  That's why Mr Trump won't release any financial records. He has lost it all and this candidacy is just a way to increase the Trump 'brand' to save his financial butt.  That's why Mr Trump has never bothered to learn anything about the job he is applying for. He has no intention of winning.

High spam rate hampers first Trump fundraising email
By Louis Nelson, June 24, 2016

Donald Trump’s campaign has bragged that the candidate’s first ever fundraising email was a record-setter in terms of money raised. But Trump’s email reached less than half of its intended recipients, and even fewer bothered to read the billionaire’s missive.

Data from email tracking firm Return Path shows 60 percent of Trump’s fundraising emails were kicked into recipients’ spam folders, according to a report from Ad Age. Only 12 percent of recipients opened the email and six percent deleted it without even opening it.

By comparison, Return Path’s data showed other emails from the Trump campaign are sent to spam folders at an eight percent rate, considered high relative to other email marketing.

Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks told Ad Age that the email generated $3.3 million in donations on Tuesday and an additional $3.4 million on Wednesday. In a separate email to supporters on Wednesday, Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. said his father’s request had spurred a $2 million flood of donations in just 12 hours. Hicks did not immediately return POLITICO’s request for comment.

Return Path Senior Director of Research Tom Sather told Ad Age that the Trump fundraising email’s poor performance was likely a result of a change in domain. While previous emails had been sent from @DonaldTrump.com email addresses, the candidate’s fundraising push came from an @DonaldJTrump.com account. It’s that change in domain that likely sent the majority of the emails into spam folders, an easily-avoided mistake.

"These are things that professional email marketers prepare for," he said.
