If you’re emailing B2B you don’t need to ask people to opt in. But it’s best practice to include an opt out.
Email opt outs are usually negative, which is probably why most marketers prefer to make them as unobtrusive as possible. Because people tend to respond very well to honesty and transparency, I prefer to give email opt out text fair prominence. And I like to make it positive. That way it reinforces the brand I’m writing about and adds to it’s credibility.
