Email you technically opted into receive but don't
really want
It's not considered spam
because you signed up for it,
but you're still not likely to
engage with it.
How can you take
control of your email
deliverability strategy
for your business?

Consent
Verifiable permission—you have consent from the person
you’re emailing to send them email. The user took an
action to grant consent to you and your business.
Building the trust you need to
create lasting relationships
with your contacts
For example, if you bought a list or enriched one to obtain
new email addresses,
you do not have permission to send to them.
Consent must be given
freely by the contact to
your business.

SOURCES PERMISSIONS
You’re asking
for permission,
not assuming it.
Under the General Data Protection Regulation,
this permission and consent is the key to being compliant
but also to develop trust that will earn you the right
to process and communicate people's information.

Think about how and where you
ask for permission:

• Where can someone tell you that they want to


receive your emails?

• Where can they decide on the type of emails they


wish to receive?

• Where are you giving them those options?


How you’re asking and logging
permission will
be your fuel to
continually building trust.

Don’t throw away the trust
you’re building
chasing after easy
customers—they don’t exist.
Would you feel confident
explaining how they provided
consent to your company?
SOURCES PERMISSIONS EXPECTATIONS
Do the people on your list
expect you to email them?
Hold yourself and your emails
to a higher standard.
Expectations are an important
lens to look at your contacts list.
Focus on the type of content
you’re sending—content your
contacts expect and
will find valuable.
