The name “CAN-SPAM” isn’t just a cute reference to canned spam; it’s also an acronym standing for Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography And Affiliate Marketing.
The law, enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), puts forth several rules for sending commercial emails, including using clear and honest subject lines, telling recipients how to opt-out of future emails, and including your physical location in the email itself.
If you send commercial emails of any kind, the CAN-SPAM Act applies to you.
And if you’re in violation, you could be reported to the FTC and face fines of up to $16,000 for each separate email sent!
