I learned a silent lesson from a Moderator that I befriended a few years ago. And that lesson was to use all available methods of contacting an affiliate. Without using social media, just regular eMail and all the ways that SFI provides, it keeps an affiliate on his toes.
Just think, we have:
the Team Mail from the Genealogy,
the eCards from their Profiles,
the PSA or CSA Mailer from Power Tools,
the Stream from the Home Page,
the Contact Seller from TripleClicks product Details,
and the IM (Immediate Messaging) from the yellow balloons.
The big difference between them is whether the affiliate will see the message and read it. Some inactive affiliates will not open their mail from SFI while they might open that from their sponsor or co-sponsor. Remember that some mail from SFI mailers will go both to their personal eMail and to their SFI messages. But these are both given as being from SFI.
The mail from the sponsor through his own eMail will announce his authorship. Then it is up to the affiliate to open and read.
When an affiliate is inactive, he isn't even logging in so we don't expect him to get mail sent only through SFI.
It is important that you send personal eMail to your new PSAs and then to those who respond back to you. This is one good reason why you should not overload yourself with too many new PSAs at one time.
