Online Marketing Compliance Training Course
A vast array of laws and regulations governs how every organization is allowed to market its products and services. These laws and regulations are intended to protect consumers and competitors from being victimized by deceptive and unfair marketing activities. They touch on every aspect of the marketing process, including (1) the representations and claims an organization may make about its products, services and competitors, and (2) whether and how often an organization may market to consumers by telephone, e-mail and the Internet, among many others.
The costs of noncompliance with marketing laws — for both organizations and individual employees — can be significant. Thus, employees involved in an organization's marketing process need a basic understanding of these laws and regulations and how they impact their day-to-day job responsibilities.
