5. Consent Section
Additionally, your website must include a dedicated consent section that outlines how customer consent is obtained. This section should detail the methods for securing consent, whether through checkboxes, verbal agreements, or other affirmative actions. A sample wording for your checkbox might be:
“By checking this box, I agree to receive Text messages about [Message Type] from [Company Name] at the phone number provided above. The SMS frequency may vary. Data rates may apply. Text HELP to (company phone number) for assistance. Reply STOP to opt out of receiving SMS messages from [Business Name]. You will receive no further SMS communication.”
This ensures that customers are informed about the nature of SMS communications they will receive from your business.
6. Opt-Out Messaging
You must include opt-out instructions in your messages to allow recipients to stop receiving future messages. The opt-out keyword should be:
“Reply STOP to opt out of messages from [Business Name]. You will receive no further SMS communication.”
This helps prevent your messages from being reported as spam. By providing recipients with the option to opt out, you will avoid compliance issues.
Example:
“Hi [Recipient’s Name]! Thanks for being a valued customer. Stay tuned for updates and exclusive offers. Reply STOP to opt out of messages from [Business Name]. You will receive no further SMS communication.”
