Unsubscribe forms

What are Unsubscribe Forms?

Unsubscribe forms are an essential feature of any email marketing campaign. They allow recipients to easily unsubscribe from your email list and help you comply with email marketing regulations like the CAN-SPAM Act.

An unsubscribe form typically includes a link at the bottom of your email message that recipients can click to unsubscribe from your list. When they click the link, they are taken to a web page where they can confirm their desire to unsubscribe and submit their request.

Why are Unsubscribe Forms Important?

Unsubscribe forms are important for several reasons:

Compliance: Unsubscribe forms help you comply with email marketing regulations like the CAN-SPAM Act. Under this law, you must include an easy and obvious way for recipients to opt-out of your emails.

Reputation: If recipients can't easily unsubscribe from your emails, they may mark your messages as spam instead. This can hurt your email deliverability and reputation with ISPs and email clients.

Trust: Giving recipients control over their email preferences and respecting their choices can help build trust and loyalty with your audience.
