Permission-based email addresses
The more time you take to build a permission-based list, the more responsive your list will be because they have requested to receive information from you. Every recipient of your email should have been clearly and fully notified of the collection and use of his or her email address and consented prior to such collection and use. Consent is not required to be in writing, but a traceable method of obtaining consent is recommended. If you have any questions or concerns about your email address list, please contact Swiftpage emarketing right away at: (877) 228-8377. Outside of the United States, please call +1 (303) 978-1000.

Keeping you CAN-SPAM compliant
The most important aspect of the CAN-SPAM Act’s stipulations is the "opt-out" function that recipients can employ at any time, prohibiting companies from contacting them in the future. Once a person "opts-out" of an email from any company, the company as a whole must cease all email to that individual. This affects disparate sales people as well.
Swiftpage emarketing includes an opt-out link at the footer of every email that is sent out through our system. In addition, the suppression is managed on the Swiftpage emarketing server, meaning that the "opt-out" information is disseminated company-wide for those who use Swiftpage emarketing , and even prohibits delivery to that list, regardless if your salesperson has requested delivery or not.
There is also a “Sent By” postal (physical) address in which your company’s information is always displayed at the footer of every email.
