How Do End Users Consent to receive messages?
IMPORTANT!:
To avoid campaign rejection, ensure Opt-in is verifiable: Each campaign is manually reviewed and needs to be verifiable by a human.
Approved Opt-in Examples | Why we think was this approved? |
Email Opt-In: Clients and prospects can subscribe to the marketing campaign by responding our marketing email or by clicking on an "Opt-In" link or button in the marketing emails asking to be reached out. When users click on the link, they are directed to a landing page where they can provide their contact information and book an appointment with one of our insurance agents. 2. Text-to-Join Opt-In: Consumers can also subscribe to the campaign by sending a text message with a specific keyword to a designated shortcode (e.g., "JOIN" or "SUBSCRIBE"). 3. Call-to-Action Opt-In: Prospects and clients can subscribe to the campaign by calling at {your phone number} and providing their consent to receive marketing messages during the call with our insurance agent or customer service representative | This was humanly verifiable by testing the text to join opt-in to the number provided and the call-to-action opt-in |
When they make appointment they confirm the way of communication, text or email or only phone call and they can opt out a any time | This was humanly verifiable by calling into the appointment line and confirming that the method of communication is opted-in |
Why do we need an A2P 10DLC Campaign?
SMS and MMS sent through Ring.io are delivered using an internet connection, which starts a conversation. This means that you can use Ring.io to send text messages to A2P (application to person) services like Ring.io and to phone numbers on a traditional SMS/MMS network, which will be delivered as a text message.
A2P requires strict compliance with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and adherence to the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA) guidelines, which allows for the recipient the option to START or STOP communication from a number.
Please provide us with exactly how your customers opt-in to receives messages from your organization using the form below.
