What percentage of subscribers do you keep by offering an email preference center?

A friend in my same industry remarked that they were able to keep 12% of would-be unsubscribers subscribed simply by allowing the subscriber to control their contact preferences. Have you found this to be true? How many subscribers have you been able to retain?

Rebecca,
from what we've seen, this really depends on whether you really have the breadth of content that a subscriber will care to choose between. We've seen success with this strategy in areas such as the publishing industry (quite a breadth of content obviously), and in areas like major league sports arenas (are you interested in hearing about NBA/NHL/WNBA/Concerts/Events/etc) where the content is quite distinct. In B2B, unless you are a large enterprise with many unique product lines, it's likely less relevant.
