FTC Testimonial &
Endorsement Law
The FTC’s new guidelines effective
December 1, 2009 changed a lot of rules on
endorsements and testimonials like nothing you've ever seen
before. It is now written in law that restricts what a
testimonial about products and services can and cannot
contain. In addition, you become liable just by placing it
on your website if there is a problem.
Should you be concerned about this new law? You betcha!

The first thing to understand is that the FTC is financed by
law breakers. Actually the FTC makes a profit. When they
hire additional agents, and they are now doing so to
further the enforcement of these new laws, the fines given out
more than pay for the agents.
Many of the gurus have annonced they are retiring due to
this law being passed. Well, to be open about this, I have
tried to tell others, even my customers about testimonials for
years. The FTC does not like testimonials or endorsements,
plain & simple. However, they allow them as long as you
stay in their guidelines.
By the way, this law is enforced in the US and abroad for US
based companies. The FTC's enforcement doesn’t stop at
the borders.
The FTC is still in the preliminary stages of the
enforcement. Let me tell you this; you not knowing a law
enforced by the FTC is not an excuse to avoid legal action.
They can burn you at the stake if they choose to. However, we
do have case studies already. When you click to see the
video on the law software, you can also scroll down the
page for testimonials if you want the hell
scared out of you.
Yes, it's real, and only an idiot who is aware of
the potential of losing everything would pass up paying
almost nothing to secure the future of your business, your
family, your retirement, and the pease of mind that comes along
with it.
So if you are going to display testimonials on your site make
darn sure that it is a genuine, reliable story from a customer
and not from your in-laws.
