Marketing, an offer of a product and the provision of a regulated service are related but distinct questions. A communication can matter before a transaction is completed.[1][3][2]
Understanding the question
Map the audience, location, channel and action requested. Distinguish general educational content from a product invitation, and examine who makes the communication. Disclaimers should be consistent with the substance of the page. A statement that a site is global does not resolve where its promotions are directed.[1][3][2]
Build the working record
| Consideration | What to establish |
|---|---|
| Audience | Identify who can see or respond to the communication. |
| Message | Record claims, product terms and calls to action. |
| Distribution | Map paid media, partners, events and direct outreach. |
Put it into practice
A landing page promising returns and accepting deposits raises different issues from a general glossary entry. Review the actual customer path.
