Default email marketing laws
I believe that if you are doing email marketing the law requires that you include your physical business address in the email. If you are working from home are you including your personal home address?? Feeling very uncomfortable with that. Anyways around it?

Thanks

I email market and I never use my home address. My business is registered to my PO BOX and that is suffient. I Have used a PO Box since 98 and I have never had a client send anything to my house or given my home address! There is too many crazy people out there so I suggest use a PO BOX. I have small kids so the thought of people knowing where I live is nerve wrecking. I hope this helps!

I understand about being uncomfortable on having your clients know your address. I purchased a P.O. Box a year after I started and will continue to have one.

Plus it forces you out of the house even if it is a minute drive! )

I agree as well..the down side is you can't receive fedex packages at a P.O.Box. I have chosen to purchase a box at my local UPS store. They give you a physical address and there is always someone there to sign for packages.

I am not aware of any law in the UK that says you have to put your address in email newsletters but it just makes your business look more credible if you do. I use a virtual office address (not PO Box) as like others here, I don't want to share my home address.

thanks for saying commenting on the UPS store. I forgot that they have boxes there with a physical address. Thanks for reminding me. I will have to stop by there today.

Before you make a decision to use any mail box issued by other than USPS, consider many businesses are either closing or moving. Shopping centers and office buildings are closing. With cutbacks, UPS and FedEx is moving around as well.

Just a thought.
