Learn from the local experts: Avoiding the pitfalls of online marketing in Europe

MaCS Webinar
Recorded Tuesday December 6, 2005

Marketing to European target audiences often requires a completely different approach to that used in the US, and campaigns must always be tailored to the relevant country and/or market. But it’s not just the content of your campaign that needs to be adapted. Europe also has unique marketing regulations and standards, particularly when it comes to online communication.

Make sure your European communications don’t break the rules – legally and culturally!

Join MaCS for this complimentary Webinar to ensure your European marketing dollars are not wasted through a lack of knowledge about European online marketing standards and regulations. Learn about:

  • The definition of “opt-in” and “opt-out” and how it affects your communication plans
  • Whether you can implement a US campaign in any European country and expect the same results
  • Which online communication strategies and tools work best in the individual countries


Featuring:


We’ll have a little surprise to be raffled off at the end of the webinar which is just one of the many things showing you how different Europe is – it is the advent calendar sitting on the sofa above, filled with delicious chocolate, one piece for every day during the holiday season.
