BUILDING AN EMAIL LIST…without going to jail.

Let’s start with the law• Implied Consent

• There is a relationship between you and the receiver of the email – i.e. they are a customer

• Explicit Consent• They have explicit given you permission to send them emails.

Default checkboxes don’t count.

• Some providers take that a step further with double opt ins.

Away from your website• Facebook email capture (using apps) • LinkedIn connections (using apps)• Affiliates and JVs (asking for them in the deal)• External Purchasers (giving them a reason to come back)• Meet and greets (business cards do exist)• Renting lists (if you dare!)

But a word of warning…

Creating the form – the easy bit!

The standard

Add some animation

How intrusive do you want to be

• Where they live• What devices• When they joined• How they joined

So what does this give you?• I can send campaigns based on

• Who they are• What they’ve purchased• What interests they’ve shown

• I can ensure• I minimise my global unsubs• I make sure I don’t offer a product someone has• I can be sensitive to support requests
