Solus Email

A Solus Email (a.k.a. Direct Email Marketing) is an email that contains a third-party advertisement that has been sent out to a selected portion of a separately owned, opt-in subscription email list that “fits” the demographic bracket (i.e. age, gender, location, etc.) the advertiser in question wishes to reach.

An example would be the owner of an opt-in mobile phone-related email subscription list that has made an agreement with a mobile phone provider to send out a specifically tailored advertisement/offer to the desired demographic bracket. Any interested recipients would then be able to sign up, allowing for a direct connection between the advertiser and new customers.
