CASL . . . otherwise known as Canada’s NEW Anti-Spam legislation. . . what does it mean to you?

/ CASL- Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation, Getting YOU Noticed!, Marketing, Mobile Marketing / By

Last week, the Association of Integrated Marketers held a luncheon in Vancouver to talk about CASL- Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation.   This “NEW” Anti-Spam legislation covers all types of electronic communication comes into affect in Canada July 1st 2014 and we wanted to make sure that we were up to date with any last minute changes that could affect both us and our clients.

Well, the best I can tell you is that I left the luncheon as confused, if not more so, than when I walked in.

This legislation, if not paid attention to, could cost you a hefty fine.   It’s intent is to reduce the amount of SPAM significantly in Canada, but as the legislation reads, almost all non-permission based Commercial Electronic Messages will be considered SPAM.

Here is a copy of the power point presentation provided during the event.

After viewing the presentation and listening to other experts in the field I have come to a few conclusions.

If you are involved with complicated electronic marketing in any way, shape or form, you need to have a lawyer reviewing your processes and procedures NOW!

If you are sending out a newsletter or other communication to a set list of people take the time NOW to get express permission from them in order to make things easier going forward.    Remember that current client relationships and relationships that have lapsed less than two years ago are exempt from CASL, but we are contacting those clients that are non-active and getting their permission anyway.

Make sure that all communication going forward gives the person receiving it the option to unsubscribe and if you get the request, do so right away.

Make sure your lists are clean and you know where you got your names from.

Ask yourself the question, “would I consider what I am sending out SPAM?” and act accordingly.

The more we can use common sense rules, the more people will be responsive to our marketing going forward.

The SILVER option is designed for companies on a limited budget or who would like to try the power of the Communicate Your Why program before committing.

It provides you with a reasonable amount of shareable content and access to our network. However, for most companies, this may not provide a full year's worth of marketing materials. If you purchase a SILVER package and decide to upgrade within 30 days of the airing of your episode, we will credit 90% of the SILVER package towards either a GOLD or PLATINUM package.

Our expectation is that we will release your episode within 30 days of the recording date.

The GOLD option is a basic yearly marketing package.

Optimally, you would release an episode quarterly and use the content that accompanies it to update your marketing on a quarterly basis. It is literally four times the amount of marketing materials as the SILVER option and allows you to not only tell your story but create a case studies with clients or talk about specific ways you add value to your clientele in a non-sales way. We would suggest that you have us interview other employees, suppliers, strategic partners and/or clients with additional episodes in order to add additional value and tell a richer and a more robust version of your brand story.

Our expectation is that we will release your episodes quarterly.

The PLATINUM option is designed as a monthly marketing package

It gives you the content you desire to stay top of mind with your clients and prospects, talk about ongoing developments and tell a more robust story. Again, if you purchase a GOLD package and decide to upgrade to a PLATINUM one within 90 days of starting the original GOLD package, we will credit 90% of the original purchase price towards the price of the PLATINUM option. We would suggest that you have us interview other employees, suppliers, strategic partners and/or clients with additional episodes in order to add additional value and tell a richer and more robust version of your brand story.
