Fort Wayne Journal Gazette IN
There have been many laws passed in response to the overwhelming amount of junk fax and e-mail that individuals and businesses receive daily. But fax and e-mail advertisements can still be effective marketing tools in their own right if they are used properly. According to Stephen Hall an associate with Dorsey and Whitney in Denver “the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and the Can-Spam Act among other laws aim to protect consumer rights and generally prohibit businesses from sending unsolicited or misleading advertisements to consumers via fax or e-mail. ” If you choose to include e-mail or fax transmissions in your marketing efforts seek guidance for compliance with these laws and keep the following guidelines in mind:Always include conspicuous opt-out or unsubscribe options on the fax or a return e-mail in the case of e-mail transmissions and have a process to comply with a fax opt-out request within 30 days or an e-mail unsubscribe request within 10 days. Send marketing fax transmissions only to individuals or entities that have requested information or whose contact information has been voluntarily obtained through a business relationship or transaction. Correctly identify yourself at all times on the fax or e-mail document and in the case of fax transmissions include a footer with the date and time and the name of sender. Accurately identify the content of the message and indicate that the e-mail is an advertisement solicitation or promotion.
