Compliance & Regulations
Stay compliant with SMS marketing laws and best practices
Explicit Consent Required
Only message customers who explicitly opted in to receive promotional SMS. Collect consent through signup forms, checkout processes, or keyword campaigns. Never buy phone lists.
Easy Opt-Out Options
Include unsubscribe instructions in every message. Honor opt-out requests immediately. Common format: "Reply STOP to unsubscribe." Process opt-outs within 24 hours.
Identify Your Business
Clearly identify your company in every message. Recipients must know who is texting them. Include brand name at start or end of message for transparency.
Respect Quiet Hours
Avoid sending messages late at night or very early morning. Generally, limit sending to 8am-9pm recipient local time. Respect time zones for multi-region campaigns.
Keep Records
Maintain documentation of all opt-ins and opt-outs. Store consent timestamps and sources. Keep records for at least 4 years for compliance audits.
Frequency Caps
Limit message frequency to avoid annoying customers. 2-4 messages per month is typical. High frequency causes opt-outs and damages brand perception.
