« Back to Glossary Index

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.
