Permission marketing is a strategic approach used in advertising[1] that emphasizes obtaining consumer[3] consent[4] before sending promotional messages. This method is highly valued because it builds mutual trust and credibility between the business and consumer, largely focusing on nurturing relationships. Consumers are given the power to control the communication process, creating an environment where only information they deem relevant is received. Permission marketing not only boosts customer[2] loyalty[5] but also increases engagement and response rates. This strategy is seen as cost-effective as it targets specific audiences, facilitating personalized communication. It is a method that contrasts with traditional interruption marketing, as it seeks to engage customers rather than intruding on their activities, ultimately leading to higher conversion rates.
Permission marketing is a type of advertising in which the people who are supposed to see the ads can choose whether or not to get them. This marketing type is becoming increasingly popular in digital marketing. Seth Godin first introduced the concept in his book “Permission Marketing: Turning Strangers Into Friends, And Friends Into Customers.”
