Addressing Legal Team Concerns on Low-Income Marketing and Sales Plan
Executive Summary
The legal team is concerned about how the public perceives statements and advertisements related to the program's benefits, as well as the ethical issues surrounding direct marketing to low-income populations and data privacy. To address these concerns, it is recommended to focus on the value of the service or product being marketed and establish trust with the target population. Additionally, offering discounts or coupons to help low-income individuals save on purchases can be beneficial. It is important to avoid stereotypes and highlight
the benefits and value of the product. Considering a subscription program to sell front-end products and meeting the consumers' needs on their level are other recommended strategies. We value the feedback received from the legal department and will carefully consider their recommendations. Considering their suggestions, our plan includes the implementation of a program specifically designed for students, the introduction of a permission form for guardians, modifications to our advertising lines, the establishment of an education hotline to address membership inquiries, and the provision of a month-to-month membership option. These steps are intended to address the legal and ethical concerns outlined in the Legal Department Memo.
Addressing One Legal Issue The legal team has raised concerns about the advertising practices and data collection methods proposed in the Sales and Marketing Proposal for the Low-Income Marketing and Sales
Plan. They emphasize that all advertising must be truthful and supported by evidence according to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission guidelines. The team identifies three requirements: precision in stating program benefits, non-deceptive commercial speech, and substantiating superiority claims. They propose changes such as providing clear facts in advertising slogans, using non-deceptive language, and avoiding misleading descriptions.
Addressing One Ethical Issue
The legal team has noticed that the methods outlined in the Sales and Marketing Proposal
for collecting and utilizing consumer data do not align with the requirements of the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018. They have specifically drawn attention to the involvement of underage consumers and emphasized the importance of upholding their privacy rights.
Providing Recommendation
To maintain truthful advertising practices, ABC's marketing should prioritize promptly addressing customer feedback, avoiding false comparisons or exaggerations, and complying with
advertising regulations and industry standards. Transparent disclosure of material information that influences purchasing decisions is essential. Moreover, when targeting low-income populations, it is crucial to align the program with their cultural, economic, and social needs. However, it's important to recognize the diversity within this demographic (Ray, 2021). In addition, the marketing and sales teams should stay updated on FTC and revised regulations, for example the revised "Green Guides," issued to assist marketers in ensuring the accuracy and honesty of their claims regarding the environmental characteristics of their products (Vedova & Technology, 2019).

Question: What should John do?
Case:
John is CFO at a venture-backed tech startup with revenues of $20 million and approximately 80 employees. He's worked at the company for several years, and now reports to Ralph, the company's newly hired CEO.
The company had been doing really well, but recently big customers have been placing fewer orders and Ralph is feeling pressure to show growth. This pressure is amplified because the company is venture-backed, and the investors expect results. While the company did well in the first round of funding, if they don't perform now, they may have trouble with gaining sufficient funding in the second round, which could mean the end of the company.
All of this was on John's mind when Ralph came to him about recording a major order that was still under negotiation. The deal had not gone through, although both parties expected to complete the deal in the next week. With the current quarter ending in the next few days, including this order would give a…
