Techworld.com - US still world's top spammer

Techworld.com - US still world's top spammer

What's interesting about this article is that there isn't any reference to the fact that most of the rest of the world would say that the amount of SPAM is actually rising.

By the definition agreed to by the EU as to what constitutes SPAM - the CAN-SPAM act actually defined how businesses "can SPAM" customers. It's a very controversial topic to say the least.

CAN-SPAM (Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003) was largely gutted of the most important aspect of the legislation when it was decided that it is allowable for marketers to send the first unsolicited SPAM so long as they agree to certain strict rules and ruglations regarding their identity and the ability for the consumer to opt-out of subsequent e-mail marketing messages from the marketer.

By the definition of the rest of the world the CAN-SPAM act defines how marketers "can SPAM" their customers -- rather than it's original attempt which was to "can SPAM" - i.e.; - put SPAM in the trash.

There are even guides on how to spam phone s.

Consumer Preference is about permission based marketing, permission marketing solution. If, as an advertiser you can execute permission based marketing campaigns then you can certainly find ways to benefit from mobile marketing. And permission starts with understanding the consumer marketing preference. If you can understand consumer marketing preference, then you can execute permission based marketing. And permission marketing is not mobile phone spam.

There are many mobile marketing company listings that can be found on the Internet - and most mobile marketing company websites will tell you how they focus on permission marketing. Make sure that the one you partner with does more than tell you about it on the website. Opt-in marketing starts with your traditional marketing soliciting for permission.

Yes - Mobile marketing starts with traditional marketing - print, web, radio, television - all of the old standards. Because before you can send the first message to a consumer, you must obtain their permission... and that means that you understand consumer marketing prefernce.
