# My Email List

> View, export, and grow your list of shoppers who want to hear from you

## Overview

Your email list is a collection of shoppers who have interacted with your business — scanned your QR code, subscribed on your vendor page, or visited you at a market. You can view the full list, export it as a CSV, and use it with [Auto-Emails](/essentials/vendor-auto-emails) to stay in touch automatically.

Access your email list at [seenmarkets.com/v/shoppers](https://seenmarkets.com/v/shoppers) or from the sidebar under **My Email List**.

<Note>
  Viewing the full list and exporting contacts requires any paid plan (Essentials, Growth, or Maximize). Free vendors can see the total count but not individual contacts.
</Note>

## Where contacts come from

Your email list combines contacts from three sources:

### Booth Magnet QR code

When a shopper scans your QR code at an event, they land on your [vendor page](/essentials/vendor-page) where they can enter their name and email. That contact goes straight to your list.

This is the most common way vendors grow their list at markets. Print your QR code, display it at your booth, and let shoppers scan it while they're in front of you.

### Notify Me form

Your vendor page has a **Get my event schedule** button. Shoppers who click it enter their name and email to subscribe. They can also opt into marketing updates with a checkbox.

This captures contacts from people who find your page online — through social media, search, or a link you shared.

### Market visitor check-ins

When shoppers check into a market through the Digital Market Guide (for giveaways, booth maps, etc.) and you're an approved vendor at that market, they may appear on your list too. These contacts come from the market's visitor list.

## Viewing your list

Your email list page shows three stats at the top:

* **Total shoppers** — everyone on your list.
* **Opted into marketing** — contacts who checked the marketing consent box. These are the people eligible for [Auto-Emails](/essentials/vendor-auto-emails).
* **Last 30 days** — contacts added in the past month.

Below the stats is the full table with columns for:

| Column        | Description                                                     |
| ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Name**      | The contact's name                                              |
| **Email**     | Their email address                                             |
| **Source**    | Where they came from — QR code, Notify Me, or a specific market |
| **Marketing** | Whether they opted into marketing (Yes/No)                      |
| **Signed up** | When they were added to your list                               |

### Locked vs. unlocked

If you're on the free plan, you'll see a blurred preview of the table and the total count, but no individual contacts. Upgrade to any paid plan to unlock the full list.

## Exporting your list

Click **Export CSV** to download your entire email list as a spreadsheet. The export includes name, email, source, marketing consent status, and signup date.

Use the export to:

* Import contacts into your own email marketing tool (Mailchimp, Klaviyo, etc.).
* Build a mailing list outside of Seen Markets.
* Keep a backup of your contacts.

## Marketing consent

When shoppers sign up through the Notify Me form or Booth Magnet QR, they see a checkbox: "I agree to receive marketing updates and promotions." This is recorded as their **marketing consent** status.

Marketing consent matters because:

* Only contacts who opted in are eligible for [Auto-Emails](/essentials/vendor-auto-emails).
* It keeps you compliant with email regulations (CAN-SPAM, GDPR).
* Shoppers who didn't opt in still appear on your list — you just can't send them marketing emails through Seen Markets.

<Note>
  You can still export all contacts (opted in or not) and use them in your own
  tools, subject to your own compliance practices.
</Note>

## Growing your list

### At events

* **Display your QR code prominently** — on a sign, banner, or table tent. Make it easy to scan without asking.
* **Mention it during conversations** — "Scan my QR to see where I'll be next" is a natural way to capture emails.
* **Pair it with incentives** — offer a small discount or freebie for signing up.

### Online

* **Share your vendor page link** — add it to your Instagram bio, email signature, and social posts.
* **Post about upcoming events** — drive followers to your vendor page where they can subscribe.
* **Add the link to your website** — if you have a separate site, link to your Seen Markets vendor page.

### At every market

Your list grows automatically when you attend markets on Seen Markets. Market visitors who check in are added to your list. The more events you do, the bigger your list gets.

## Frequently Asked Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion icon="user-plus" title="Do contacts get added automatically?">
    Yes. When someone scans your QR code, fills out the Notify Me form, or
    checks into a market you're at, they're added to your list with no action
    needed from you.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion icon="envelope" title="Can I email my list directly from Seen Markets?">
    Not manually. The [Auto-Emails](/essentials/vendor-auto-emails) feature
    (Maximize plan) sends automated pre-market and post-market emails on your
    behalf. For custom campaigns, export your list and use your own email tool.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion icon="copy" title="Will the same person appear twice?">
    No. Contacts are deduplicated by email address. If someone scans your QR
    at one market and checks in at another, they appear once on your list.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion icon="lock" title="Can shoppers remove themselves from my list?">
    Shoppers who receive [Auto-Emails](/essentials/vendor-auto-emails) can
    unsubscribe from those emails. Their contact remains on your list but they
    won't receive further automated messages from you.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion icon="dollar-sign" title="Which plan do I need?">
    Any paid plan (Essentials, Growth, or Maximize) unlocks your full email
    list and CSV export. Free vendors see the total count only.
