E-Mail Marketing Guidelines
ClearSaleing, Inc. adheres to the U.S. Advertising and Marketing Trade
Groups Standards for Legitimate E-mail Marketing Practices
The American Association of Advertising Agencies (AAAA), the Association of
National Advertisers (ANA), and the Direct Marketing Association (The DMA) have
released a set of nine guidelines that call on marketers to institute certain
practices that will defend and enhance the viability of legitimate e-mail
marketing.
ClearSaleing, Inc. recognizes the importance of these groundbreaking guidelines,
and follows the lead of these "Anti-Spam Pioneers."
The nine self-regulatory guidelines are as follows:
-
The subject line of an e-mail must be honest and not misleading or deceptive.
-
A valid return e-mail address and the physical address of the sender should be
clearly identified. Marketers are encouraged to use their company or brand
names in their domain address and prominently throughout the message.
-
An e-mail should clearly identify the sender and the subject matter at the
beginning of the e-mail.
-
All commercial e-mail (except for billing purposes) must provide consumers with
a clear and conspicuous electronic option to be removed from lists for future
e-mail messages from the sender. The removal process must be easy to find and
easy to use.
-
If a company sending commercial e-mail has multiple distinct brands or
affiliates, notice and opt-out should be provided based on the likely
perspective of the average consumer. Each separate brand or affiliate, as the
consumer is likely to perceive it, must offer notice and a process for removal
from marketing lists in all commercial e-mails (except for billing purposes).
-
Marketers should not acquire e-mail addresses surreptitiously through automated
mechanisms (such as robots or spiders) without the consumer / customer's
informed consent. This includes a prohibition on dictionary attacks or other
mechanisms for fabricating e-mail addresses without providing notice and choice
to the consumer.
-
"Remove" means "Remove." The electronic remove feature must be reliable,
functional, and prompt.
-
8. E-mail lists must not be sold or provided to unrelated third parties unless
the owner of the list has provided notice and the ability to be removed from
such transfer to each e-mail address on the list. A related third party include
other brands/subsidiaries within the same parent company as well as outside
affinity partners as a reasonable consumer is likely to perceive them.
-
A commercial e-mail should contain the sender's privacy policy, either within
the body of the e-mail or via a link.
