Permission Marketing
“Unless you find a more cost effective way to get your message out, your business is doomed. You can no longer survive by interrupting strangers with a message they don’t want to hear, about a product they’ve never heard of, using methods that annoy them. Consumers have too little time and too much power to stand for this any longer.“
What Is Permission Marketing?
Permission Marketing is about developing long-term, effective relationships with clients and potential clients, who have given you permission to market to them.
Permission Marketing – pioneered by Seth Godin - is about building an audience of fans. These fans come to buy from you, which is easier than than interrupting strangers to sell to.
Effective methods of Permission Marketing include Social Media, Blogging (via WordPress Websites) and Email Marketing.
The Antithesis of Permission Marketing
Permission Marketing is the future of marketing. It works, costs very little and doesn’t piss anyone off.
The antithesis of Permission Marketing include cold calling, mass leaflet drops & unsolicited email marketing. We do not endorse, encourage or engage any of these forms of marketing.

It recognizes the new power of the best consumers to ignore marketing. It realizes that treating people with respect is the best way to earn their attention.”
