B2B emails - what's allowed?

[newbie21]

This seems to be such a minefield. Can you send unsolicited emails to other businesses in your field? What about sole traders who may use a personal address? If it's not allowed are there any consequences?

I've read that such emails are either illegal full stop, would have to include an 'opt out' (and am not sure what that entails) or that they should include certain information and contact details of your business.

I don't understand WHY you have posted this in three different forums already!

Stick it in one place and wait for people to reply.

I'm sorry I'm new to the forum & I didn't know which forum was most relevant.

I've replied to your PM with all the info I have - sit back and wait now -people will answer you. A lot of people tend to read all new posts, so posting the same three times will just alienate people who might have a lot of useful info for you. Oh well - you live and learn
