„Up to what extent do you use this form of communication in practice
and how efficient is it?“
- This form is used at least due to two main reasons. The first reason is
due to the Act on Advertisements, Act No. 147/2001 Coll., pursuant to Section
3 Para. 6 of which, an advertisement may not be disseminated by an automated
phone calling system, telefax or electronic mail without a prior consent of
their user who is the recipient of this advertisement. And such consents are
rare and those that exist do not have a sufficient number of signs identifying
a target group to make your addressing efficient.
- The second reason is the low price of addressing and a large advertisement
noise in the form of spam (in case of emails). In case of SMS, it is the
restriction of the extent of the message. This results in low resonance, meaning
a short time period after which the recipient remembers to have been addressed by a message.
„Despite this fact, when would you recommend this type of communication?“
- In cases of permanent work with a database where you obtained the consent
of members of this community – e.g. members of a membership club, fidelity
program or competition. Also in case of members of a professional organization
which has been notified about such communication in advance.
- With your clients who know you and see this communication with you as an
expected or standard business communication. In each case, the Act on
Advertisements applies.
„How can you obtain a consent with sending of emails?“
- The best way is by phone with a consequent delivery of a personalized email
with information that this consent has been granted and with the possibility to
revoke this consent at any time in the future.
