In addition
to keeping you organized and in control of your inbox again, OtherInbox
has many additional perks. I wanted to share a few of the ways I use
OtherInbox to help me manage my work, hobbies, volunteer activities,
family, shopping, and even vacations.
How OIB helps me with my job
I’ve
had many superusers tell me that OIB has helped them with their
careers. Several professionals, from hairdressers to leasing agents,
have reported ways that giving on the fly email addresses and having
organized mailboxes have made them more efficient and organized. As
the Community Manager of OtherInbox, I use on the fly email addresses
to help me with networking, partnership activities, user feedback, and
volunteer organizations that we work with every quarter. I give each
group their own email address, where they are all nicely organized and
easy to access in one place, my OtherInbox account.
My own personal encyclopedia of knowledge
I,
like many people, have a lot of things I wish I knew how to do. Being
a full time employee of an awesome startup and a full time parent does
not give me a lot of extra time to take classes and lessons. However,
in the last year I have managed to learn how to start my first garden,
enhance my cooking skills, and stay up to date on the newest social
media trends! How did I find the time to do all that? I signed up for
the latest newsletters, blogs, and social groups like Ning and had them
all go to my OtherInbox! It’s like customizing your own virtual
newspaper and reading it when you want to without it EVER overwhelming
your primary inbox.

Coupons and other money saving tips
We
all love a good bargain but not at the expense of giving out our email
address. It is not worth overpopulating your inbox with spam and
risking it being sold to other companies. My absolute favorite part of
having an OtherInbox is the ability to be fearless with my email
address. I use an on the fly email to sign up for ANYTHING and
EVERYTHING I want. It has become an obsession. I sign up for all of
my favorite stores' newsletters, contests, and everything else I can.
As a result, I get a ton of free stuff. Free food, free books, and
coupons to all my favorite stores. I still have not won anything, but
I check my OtherInbox daily to make sure. It is kind of like playing
the internet lottery - for free! Now, as you can imagine, I get
spammed all the time, but I don’t stress about it because I have the
power to keep spammers from ever emailing me again with just one
click. I have also learned who leaks my email address out and will
never spend another dime in their stores or online with them.
All this money saving has made me want a vacation
Although
I have not yet saved thousands with OtherInbox, I still use it to sign
up for travel sites and possible vacation destinations. My OtherInbox
notifies me of flight deals, discount vacation packages, and much
more. When it is time to pack up the family and head out of Dodge for
a week or two, I know just where to go to get the most bang for my buck!

“Unusual Spending in X. I love getting these emails. Helps me make sure that no one else is spending my money, but also keep tabs on my own spending habits.”
“As much as Amazon can be overbearing, they must have a very good success rate with these emails, because I catch myself clicking through way more than other advertisers, due to their “smart” suggestions…”
“Lots of junk mail from them. Goes straight into the spam folder.”
“Account alerts are usually welcome, but many of the marketing materials are repetitive and are generally ignored.”
