Seth’s Permission Marketing

I learned about Seth’s permission marketing back in 1999 when he literally wrote the book! I’ve been a fan and believer ever since. This post was inspired and co-authored by his AI using his words. It’s basically from Seth Goden’s mouth to your ears.

What is Seth’s Permission Marketing About?

Permission marketing is a marketing strategy that involves getting the consent of a target audience to receive marketing messages.

It is the privilege (not the right) of delivering anticipated, personal and relevant messages to people who actually want to get them. Permission marketing recognizes the new power of the best consumers to ignore marketing and realizes that treating people with respect is the best way to earn their attention.

Real permission is different from presumed or legalistic permission. Just because you somehow get someone’s email address doesn’t mean you have permission. Real permission works like this: if you stop showing up, people complain, they ask where you went.

Permission marketing encourages consumers to participate in a long-term, interactive marketing campaign in which they are rewarded in some way for paying attention to increasingly relevant messages. It is anticipated, personal, and relevant.

By only talking to volunteers, Permission Marketing guarantees that consumers pay more attention to the marketing message. It allows marketers to calmly and succinctly tell their story, without fear of being interrupted by competitors or Interruption Marketers. It serves both consumers and marketers in a symbiotic exchange.

Permission marketing is considered one of the most powerful trends in marketing…

As new forms of media develop and clutter becomes ever more intense, it’s the asset of permission that will generate profits for marketers.

Permission Marketing is a measurable process that evolves over time for every company that uses it. It becomes an increasingly valuable asset. The more you commit to Permission Marketing campaigns, the better they work over time. And these fast-moving, leveragable processes are the key to success in our cluttered age.

The leverage it brings to the internet, combined with the pervasive clutter that infects the internet and virtually every other medium, makes Permission Marketing the most powerful trend in marketing for the next decade.

So, while there are other effective marketing tools available, Permission Marketing is certainly a powerful tool that can help businesses cut through the clutter and reach their target audience in a more effective and respectful way.
