Basically a company asks customers or potential customers to give them permission to enroll them in a list of prospective customers (although the real motive is not articulated, like I just did, to potential candidates; the message is normally about the “great opportunity to obtain valuable information every day”). This is a great way of keeping contact with your current customers or potential customers. Even I am a member of certain opt-in lists and I do receive very valuable information every day. “However, certain rules (and especially legislation) must be complied with (and by the way, future privacy legislation across the world will be tough on this issue). One important condition is that you are not allowed to enlist a person without his/her permission. But even more importantly, a company MUST allow a subscriber to unsubscribe/drop the subscription at any time. “Unfortunately, there are people or companies outside there that ignore these requests and just continue to contact people wishing NOT to receive any information from the specific company anymore (regardless whether they use text messages, e-mails or telephone calls).” - Michiel Jonker Message: This cartoon illustrates a company unwilling to remove an opt-in list member from their opt-in marketing list.
