Comments on: Is it ethical to send a fax advertising your goods or services to the recipient? http://www.laurabetterly.com/blog/advertising/is-it-ethical-to-send-a-fax-advertising-your-goods-or-services-to-the-recipient Odds and Ends Mon, 18 Jan 2010 18:39:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: A T http://www.laurabetterly.com/blog/advertising/is-it-ethical-to-send-a-fax-advertising-your-goods-or-services-to-the-recipient/comment-page-1#comment-8883 A T Mon, 11 Jan 2010 15:34:59 +0000 http://www.laurabetterly.com/blog/advertising/is-it-ethical-to-send-a-fax-advertising-your-goods-or-services-to-the-recipient#comment-8883 Nice to see a question answered by so many in a simple clean fashion, I would go with the preference service but a computer fax system is easily set up, and a lot better at excluding this junk mailing expense, that being said, ( it still wastes time though ), there is a facility on something called "Incredimail" ( free service, but extras cost a little more, but not much ), that allows you to "bounce back" all this rubbish as e-mails, hopefully it will allow this to be done with faxes in future, keep an eye on this, or drop them a line, who knows ? Wonder why the makers do not have an automatic "hit list" for stopping these things coming through, as they do for my e-mails, seems a point of service is being missed here, a couple of clicks and no more selling, from people you do not want to entertain in your own home, business, or with your time or money..... PPS it is not ethical to annoy any prospective customer, neither is it sensible in business terms, sadly, however, it is legal, and that is the closest many businesses, get to ethics these days.....and then only just.<br><b>References : </b><br> Nice to see a question answered by so many in a simple clean fashion, I would go with the preference service but a computer fax system is easily set up, and a lot better at excluding this junk mailing expense, that being said, ( it still wastes time though ), there is a facility on something called "Incredimail" ( free service, but extras cost a little more, but not much ), that allows you to "bounce back" all this rubbish as e-mails, hopefully it will allow this to be done with faxes in future, keep an eye on this, or drop them a line, who knows ?

This is a list of number that most marketing companies have to see who NOT to send faxes to. The service I believe is free and takes I think about 28 days for it to become effective.<br><b>References : </b><br> If you are receiving unsolicited faxes, you can register your fax number with the fax preference service.
