Topic: Do Not Call Solution
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) provides clear regulations on how businesses can communicate with consumers via phone calls and text messages. When it comes to package delivery, there are specific exemptions under the TCPA. Package delivery notifications are generally exempt if they strictly pertain to the status of a delivery and are non-promotional in nature. This means that businesses can send informational texts or calls about package status, provided these communications do not include marketing or upselling content.
This exemption is critical for businesses that depend on real-time communication to improve customer satisfaction. However, staying compliant with TCPA regulations requires meticulous management of consent and communication records. That’s where PossibleNOW’s Do Not Call solution comes in. With tools designed to manage contact preferences and regulatory compliance, we allow businesses to communicate effectively while minimizing risk.

Violating the TCPA can result in significant financial penalties. Fines range from $500 per violation to $1,500 for willful or knowing violations. For example, a business sending non-compliant marketing texts disguised as delivery notifications could face millions in penalties if recipients file a class-action lawsuit.
