spam and email marketing

Email marketing seems like the easiest thing in the world to do.

Hold on there a moment - aren’t you forgetting something?

If you’re using email marketing it’s essential you’re up to date with anti-spam laws, because if you breach them you could be in line for a hefty £5000 fine.

The law restricts you from sending unsolicited marketing emails (i.e. those they haven’t expressly asked to receive) to individual subscribers (you can send them to corporates if they are relevant to their work).

So how to you make sure your emails aren’t breaking the rules?
