DEFINITION & DESCRIPTION

"Permission marketing is a term used in e-marketing. Marketers will ask permission before they 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. The term was coined by Seth Godin in his book of the same name (published in 1999).

 
                                         
                                         
                                         
                                         
                                         
                                         
                                         
                                         
                                         
                                         
                                         
                                         
                                                             
  Marketers feel that this is a more efficient use of their resources because advertisements are not sent to people that are not interested in the product. This is one technique used by marketers that have a personal marketing orientation. They feel that marketing should be done on a one-to-one basis rather than using broad aggregated concepts like market segment or target market.

In the United Kingdom, opt-in is required for email marketing, under The Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003. This came into force on the 11 December 2003."* With the emergence of new 'Do Not Disturb' laws, it is likely that many of the more aggressive forms of intrusive or harassment marketing will be illegal within five years.
