In some countries, you are required to ask your clients for their consent before you can send them campaigns or promotions.
One easy way to get clients consent, is to ask them to provide it when they contact your business through the system - when sending you a message or scheduling an appointment.
This article will review how you can add an 'opt-in' field to your LiveSite forms, and how to send campaigns only to clients that have opted in.
