Direct marketing - Legal risks and how to overcome them  Course available in London & Birmingham

All types of organisations aim to promote their products and services as widely as possible.  However, the sending of marketing materials to individuals ( direct marketing ) is heavily regulated both in the UK and in the European Union.  This presents serious risks that can affect a brand's value and consumer trust.

This Workshop provides a practical hands-on approach to the variety of different legal rules for direct marketing by post, fax, telephone, text message and email.  Attend this Workshop to gain peace of mind that your direct marketing campaigns will meet the necessary legal requirements.

The Workshop will address the practical questions that marketing departments face in devising lawful marketing campaigns.  It will deal with such concerns as:

• Is my marketing solicited or unsolicited?
• Does it matter if I target corporate entities instead of individuals?
• Do I qualify for the email opt-out exception?
• Should I use opt-out, pre-ticked opt-in or opt-in boxes?
• How do I ensure that I comply with the Privacy & Electronic Communications Regulations 2003?
• What information must I include in my direct marketing materials?
• Can I use my legacy database and/or marketing lists purchased from third parties?

Workshop participants will understand how to conduct successful and lawful direct marketing campaigns.
