Asking for permission is crucial for several reasons:
Legal Compliance: Many countries have laws and regulations like the GDPR and CAN-SPAM Act that mandate obtaining explicit consent before sending marketing emails. Trust and Credibility: Gaining permission helps build trust with your audience, showing that you respect their privacy and preferences. Higher Engagement: Email lists that are built on permission tend to have higher open and click-through rates because the recipients are genuinely interested in what you have to say.
