![Did you know that massive tech companies like 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐠𝐥𝐞 & 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐚 do certain things that actively make life harder for us as a small minority language publisher? 🚨🥲
For example, if you have a 𝐆𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐥 address, then you may not be getting email communications from Bradan Press!
Here's what may happen:
❌ If you order a book from us, you may not get the order confirmation email!
❌ If you subscribe to our newsletter, you may not receive it!
❌ If you pledge to our crowdfunder, and we send you updates and request your address to ship your books, you may not get them!
😢 Unfortunately this is happening because we can't afford to subscribe to Google Business so they'll "whitelist" our company email domain (bradanpress dot com).
✅ The only way to ensure you'll ALWAYS get our emails is to add "info [at sign] bradanpress dot com" to your Gmail Contacts list. Can you do it today?
P.S. If you correspond with Emily at Bradan Press, it also helps to add her personal work email to your contacts. For example, we've been having a bad communication breakdowns trying to hire a freelancer for a project, because every time we email their Gmail, it goes to their spam, unless we use the contact form on their website (which makes it impossible to send files).](https://scontent-yyz1-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/472920661_463076729981100_6639296007302688257_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=108&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=wWdOh1ceAsMQ7kNvwFrThq8&_nc_oc=AdmVPyCfikMLkUDTSQy7b0ikM1G7ytnqKJIRsA_muCQh7HVBkpLam4U_m68CtFUprGI&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-yyz1-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&_nc_gid=XtMDL4CIy1oSGzKw3Ix88A&oh=00_AfRaMKxh8b6cHY_fPPWz4VL0lgd6oWw2IY_wOP22It5BCg&oe=6873C67C)
