hey everybody so it's just me today yeah so this is actually quite hard for me to
[5]
say but Andrew he's he's in jail he sent a few emails carelessly and the
[14]
GDPR police came and wanted to make an example of him he's got he's got
[20]
20 to life
[27]
Pete, Pete, I escaped
[33]
okay so gdpr is coming and small business email marketers are losing their ****
[39]
but do not fear guys the email marketing apocalypse is not upon us you
[44]
just have to be a little bit smarter and put a few things in place like a great
[49]
Prison Break strategy mm-hmm and a great hair cut.
[53]
Rockin this look
[55]
Here's a short explanation of what you need to know so you don't end up like Andrew
[61]
Do I look like I'm from the 80s
[64]
I don't remember the 80's
[65]
I wasn't born in the 80's
[67]
what is GDPR?
[68]
general data protection
[69]
regulations are the new EU laws that will affect anybody trading in the EU or
[75]
anybody trading with countries in the EU - these laws were passed pre brexit
[80]
and are currently in place in the UK although the GDP our regulations are
[85]
actually in place right now they're not actually enforceable until the 25th of
[90]
May 2018 they tighten up the rules regarding how we collect and how we
[95]
store data including email addresses so there are higher considerations to be
[101]
had for our email marketing including stricter regulations for getting consent
[106]
whoa my hair just changed constantly throughout this whole video
[110]
we now need to be super specific when getting opt-ins what we are actually doing with
[115]
that data so if you're offering some form of download or lead magnet you need
[120]
to be super clear by you're also going to be following up with people and get
[124]
them consenting to that too - if you're collecting emails through the purchasing
[129]
process for example on a ecommerce checkout page you must have an unticked
[134]
checkbox that gives you permission to follow up
[137]
no more of this you must not
[138]
untick this tick box to opt into our opt-out process for marketing communications
[144]
basically we can no longer be vague permission has to be
[147]
explicit
[148]
new requirements for record-keeping
[151]
we also need to keep
[152]
records of how people actually opted into our lists - this information should
[157]
be available within your email service provider we personally use convertkit
[161]
and we can get access to that information on their dashboard but
[165]
double-check with yours to find out exactly where this information is it's
[169]
also a good idea to keep screenshots of web pages where you've had opt-in forms
[174]
in the past as the burden of proof lies with us the business owners
[179]
what about current data?
[182]
This is the scariest part because because GDPR laws say that
[187]
all previous data collected has to have been collected using the new rules Oh
[194]
so expect some re-engagement campaigns from people trying to get the opt-ins
[200]
reconfirmed
[202]
how much proof you need of that original opt-in is kind of
[204]
questionable so it kind of depends on how much you want to risk doing this or
[209]
not doing this but if you do have a huge list then this is going to be really
[214]
important because fines are hefty
[217]
is this actually enforceable?
[218]
fines of up to
[219]
four percent of annual turnover is the risk you run for not being compliant
[224]
but authorities will be reliant on customers reporting non-compliance so it
[231]
is more likely that there is going to be a bigger focus on the more serious
[235]
violations. We're not really that worried because we know that we've grown our
[239]
list organically and we've never got in trouble for spamming mmm we're such good
[244]
boys, other than when we go to jail. But have bought or data scraped any emails
[251]
unethically then that is now going to come back to bite you and in that case
[256]
we would definitely be getting re-optins sharpish.
[260]
Is this the end of email marketing?
[264]
no it is not if anything we welcome the sight of cleaner inboxes and
[269]
a more engaged list we think what this has done is got people and us thinking
[274]
more about the data that we are collecting and how permission is granted
[278]
which is only good for better relationships with our list and better
[281]
relationships with our customers.
[283]
final thoughts
[284]
we just wanted to give you an
[285]
outline there as we approach the May 25th 2018 deadline but by no means are
[291]
we experts in EU law I mean do we look like experts I don't think so I know
[295]
with this hair so we would recommend consulting some legal help if you are a
[300]
little bit worried whether you are compliant or not but as we approach the
[305]
deadline and beyond I think things are going to become a lot more clearer the
[309]
key here really is to just get some good habits ASAP and that way you'll be fine
[314]
and not fined.
[317]
or arresed
[319]
okay guys so this was a little bit of a
[320]
different tone to our videos than usual but it's an important message that we
[325]
really to get across because we've seen a lot
[327]
of scaremongering going on when it comes to gdpr and email marketing so we just
[332]
wanted to put your mind at rest you're not gonna be arrested email
[336]
marketing is here to stay we just need to change a few little
[338]
things here and there so we are still compliant
[340]
that's right email marketing
[342]
is certainly not dead, in fact we think it is da-bomb
[347]
