Hi guys.
I own a small fast food shop and i've built up a considerable database of addresses and mobile phone numbers I would like to market to. I've googled marketing laws but I find them a bit iffy some resources say one thing and another place says another.
Basically my addresses and contacts are all previous customers they have ordered from us. Am I able to send marketing text messages (allowing them to opt out) and send letters/offers to their homes? (Once again allowing them to opt out).
There's a bit of confusion on my end simply because in most instances customers have to 'opt in' unless you have got their details as a previous customers and are offering them a deal similar to what they've previously had from you - so it essentially appears they are automatically opted in but have to 'opt out'.
Could someone clarify? I'm sure there are many business owners on here who have marketed in similar ways.
