Enabling your clients - and hence yourself

One barrier to communication is the fear of being spammed.  What if you could alleviate that fear, without just saying you will not do so.

Here is the answer.

I have multiple clients who primarily use work email, or simply do not like giving out their email address.  I have begun to set up Gmail accounts for them, with the specific intent of sending property reports.

This is a free system, there are no filters for what I do, and it can be accessed anywhere.  The same can go for yahoo or hotmail. 

This came about when I had sent five emails to a client, and their mail server would not allow a link from the MLS.  The easiest way, since she was not very tech savvy, was for me to set up the account and simply tell her to go to gmail.com and here is the username and password.  I make the name and password very easy to remember, something like their full name, and 'password' for the password.  

You can offer this 'service' and tell people this way they have nothing to fear.

It also will give you a reason to call them and let them know to check their email.
