prospect explicitly agrees in advance to receive marketing information.
• Opt-in e-mail, where Internet users sign up in advance for information about
certain product categories, is a good example of permission marketing.

requested in advance and more cost-efficient because the prospect is already
identified and targeted.

people welcome the idea of Permission Marketing.

design decisions.
