Updating Imprint details

Before you send an email campaign, make sure your campaigns clearly show who the sender is and provide sufficient contact information so that the recipients can contact you. This information must be directly and permanently visible to the recipients. This will let the email recipients know that they have received an email from an authentic source.

Every newsletter that you send using Zoho MarketingHub must  contain an 'Imprint' section. The imprint section preview appears as shown below,


In this help guide, we'll discuss in detail about what imprint information is, why you need to add it and how to add and edit imprint information in Zoho MarketingHub.

What is imprint information?

An Imprint is a type of notice that indicates the authenticity of the sender while also conveying basic legal information about the senders to the recipients. 

The Imprint should include the following:

  1. Name of an authorized representative

  2. Email address of the representative

  3. Phone number

  4. Postal address

  5. Tax Identification Number

Why do I need to add imprint details? 

Organizations and users who wish to send marketing and promotional newsletters to recipients are required to make this basic information available. The Imprint information must be provided in every email that is sent.

  1. Section 5 of the German Telemedia Act, states that it is mandatory that the Imprint information is easily identifiable, directly accessible, and always available in every marketing and promotional newsletter. 

  2. Including an Imprint becomes a mandatory step when you wish to send emails to the residents of Europe.

If you comply with laws other than the German Telemedia Act, it is not mandatory to provide all the imprint details. However, the name and email address of an authorized representative is a mandatory information that has to be provided. It is the user's choice to provide other details.

Irrespective of the laws you comply with, providing the imprint information will increase the transparency in communication between senders and recipients.
