E-mail Marketing Services & CAN-SPAM Compliance

Because the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 authorizes an USD 11,000 penalty per violation for spamming each individual recipient, many commercial e-mail marketers within the United states utilize a service or special software that helps ensure compliance with the Act. A variety of older systems exist which do not ensure compliance with the Act. To comply with the Act's regulation of commercial e-mail, services typically: require users to authenticate their return address and include a valid physical address, provide a one-click unsubscribe feature, and prohibit importing lists of purchased addresses which may not have given valid permission.

In addition to satisfying legal requirements, service providers stepped in to help customers to set up and manage their own e-mail marketing campaigns. The services provide e-mail templates, automatically handle subscriptions and removals, and generate statistics on how many messages were received and openned, and whether the recipients clicked on any links within the messages.

Email Marketing :– Popularity with companies

E-mail marketing (on the Internet) is popular with companies because:

• Compared to other media investments such as direct mail or printed newsletters, it is less expensive.
• Return on investment has proven to be high when done properly and e-mail marketing is often reported as second only to search marketing as the most effective online marketing tactic.
• It is instant, as opposed to a mailed advertisement, an e-mail arrives in a few seconds or minutes.
• It lets the advertiser "push" the message to its audience, as opposed to a website that waits for customers to come in.
• It is easy to track. An advertiser can track users via web bugs, bounce messages, un-subscribes, read-receipts, click-throughs, etc.
  
• Over half of Internet users check or send e-mail on a typical day.
• An exact Return on investment can be calculated with "track to basket" - this tracks the journey of the recipient from message delivery all the way through to purchase confirmation.
