Marketers Under Fire?

In the last week we have seen an editorial where Bill Gates is endorsing legislation that would require unsolicited email senders to identify their messages with "ADV:" in the subject line. Most recently a national do-not-call list has been introduced. In the first 14 hours, the government received over 635,000 requests for the do-not-call registry. What is this telling marketers?

We could all grumble about how this will affect our businesses, but instead I encourage you to become proactive and think of more creative ways to market your business. After all how often do you actually buy something from an unknown person giving you a call and interrupting your day or your dinner? How often do you think your marketing email is making it past the latest and greatest spam filters?
