What is SPAM?
Spam (spām) - unsolicited bulk commercial electronic mail message
![Page 7: Email Marketing Strategies and Tips for Small and Local Businesses](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/555aca40d8b42a761a8b511e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
CAN-SPAM
CAN-SPAM defines a "commercial electronic mail message" as "any electronic mail message the primary purpose of which is the commercial advertisement or promotion of a commercial product or service (including content on an Internet website operated for a commercial purpose)." It exempts "transactional or relationship messages."

Realistically, SPAM is just EMAIL
PEOPLE DON’T WANT TO RECEIVE.
