Marketing Operations Can Support Compliance
Too often the relationship between Marketing and Compliance can be contentious. In addition, compliance is not just about disclosure and copy content. There is a whole world of data management that needs to comply with USPS, federal and state regulations. .In this panel discussion, three experts from GrayHair Software talk about how data management and marketing information can help Compliance and Risk Management. Led by GrayHair’s Adam Collinson, VP Data and Analytics, will focus on the regulations that marketing data strategies help support. Plus they’ll brief the audience on what USPS regulations are taking effect, how to look at your data and best practices for marketing data management. We would develop a diagnostic tool (10 questions) to help attendees understand where they are vulnerable and discuss the results in the webinar. We would provide a glossary of terms of the regs and/or processes. We would offer a free data/file assessment for attendees so they have a snapshot of what they may be facing. We also have Postal Operations White Paper available that we’ve been using in our outreach to get that part of the organization connected to compliance and regulatory.
