Permission Marketing – is a term used in marketing in general and e-marketing specifically. Marketers will ask permission before advancing to the next step in the purchasing process. For example, they ask permission to send advertisements to prospective customers. It is used by some internet marketers, email marketers and telephone marketers. It requires that people first “opt-in”, rather than allowing people to “opt-out” only after the advertisements have been sent.
So, now you have an idea about permission marketing and I believe most internet marketers will use the “opt-in” strategy instead of sending out emails without permission. I guess most of you have the experience of receiving advertising emails and you have no ideas how they get your email address. I have these experience and what I did to those emails is to treat them as spam mails. They are simply spammers!
Permission Guru, Seth Godin has a very good saying -
- permission marketing is about building an ongoing relationship of increasing depth with customers
- turning strangers into friends, and friends into customers
If you have your own home based business, either internet business or online blogshop, I suggest you adopt permission marketing and don’t simply send out your advertising emails to your friends or strangers. You may be treated as a spammer!
