What is Permission Marketing?
Permission marketing requires you to ask permission from your subscribers before sending them messages. Your subscribers must first "opt-in" to receive messages from you.

What is Double Opt-in?
When a new subscriber asks to be subscribed to your mailing list, a confirmation e-mail is sent to verify it was really them. The person will not be added to the mailing list unless they respond to the email that has been sent to them, asking them to click on a special link or send back a reply e-mail.

Why Double Opt-in?
This is the safest way to prevent you from being regarded as a spammer. You are a trusted source of contact at this point and your subscriber will read your email. Internet Service Providers may block any incoming mail sent from email servers, if they think that you are spamming.

What is "Spam"?
"Spam" is the term for unsolicited email. In other words, email that someone has not requested to receive.

What is a sign up or web form?
A sign up or web form allows you to collect your visitor's details. Use Zinidoo's built-in form creation wizard to assist you in creating the HTML necessary for your subscription forms, that you can then place on your web site to collect your visitor's details. If you have an existing email subscriber list, you can import that too, all from Zinidoo.

No, it's totally up to you. Remember the more information you collect, the better sense you have as to who your subscribers are and what information to send them in the future.
