What is permission-based e-mail marketing and what does opt-in, opt-out and double opt-in mean?
Permission-based e-mail marketing is a technique used by marketers to obtain and retain consumers. When a consumer expresses interest by opting in for an offer the marketer may contact the consumer via e-mail asking if they would like to receive more specialized content and offers that are of interest to them. This type of marketing involves asking permission to send advertisements. When a consumer opts-out of an offer they have expressed that they would not like to receive offers. Double opt-in is when a consumer first opts-in to for an offer and then receives an e-mail in which they must confirm opting-in by replying to the e-mail. AffiliateSmarts utilizes this form of marketing to generate a positive return-on-investment and a higher volume of strongly qualified leads complete with contact information and permission to repeatedly market to prospects.
