tips for the unsubscribe page1. Provide a way to unsubscribe directly via the website (rather than only via an email message)
2. Clearly identify the sending company on the unsubscribe page. Include the site and newsletter name
3. On the unsubscribe page, list the user’s email address and current newsletters, and a simple way to unsubscribe from any or all newsletters.
4. Provide a separate process for unsubscribing. Don’t have the subscribe process double as the unsubscribe process
5. Offer users an option to change the frequency of the newsletter as an alternative to unsubscribing
6. Provide a confirmation screen verifying that the user’s email address has been unsubscribed from the newsletters
7. On the confirmation page, list other ways to receive updates such as through social networks or a blog
8. If you ask users for feedback about why they are unsubscribing, make the process optional and easy
9. Send only one email confirmation to users after they unsubscribe, listing any newsletters users have asked to stop receiving.
10. Unsubscribe users immediately. If this isn't possible, tell users how long it may take for your system to register their changes
