Ethical Marketing
1. Whistle Punks occasionally carries out market research to gain a better understanding of our customers. Through this market research we hope to engage our stakeholders to get feedback about our product, our marketing, our social and environmental responsibility and our competitors. In order to carry out market research ethically we recognise our responsibility to obtain consumers’ voluntary, informed consent prior to participation and inform participants that they can withdraw from the research at any point.
2. When using market segmentation to make our marketing more appealing, relevant and timely to target markets we will not target vulnerable consumers. Vulnerable consumers are defined as those who are more susceptible to economic, physical or psychological harm as a result of economic transactions. They may have physical, cognitive or social characteristics that limit their judgement.
3. To ensure that our advertising is conducted ethically we will not use deceptive or misleading advertising. This includes:
3.1 Untruthful advertising which makes claims about the product that are untrue;
3.2 Exaggerated claims that are difficult to assess objectively;
3.3 Misleading comparative advertising.
4. So that our online marketing is conducted ethically we will
4.1 Ensure that all communications are clearly identifiable as commercial communication;
4.2 Clearly identify any conditions which must be met to qualify for promotional offers;
4.3 Clearly identify any conditions which must be met for any promotional competition or game.
We will not engage in:
4.4 Deceptive or disguised marketing, e.g. a commercial website posing as an information site;
4.5 Manipulation of online forums e.g. posing as a consumer to make comments about our company or a competitor.
We regularly reviews the accuracy and ethics of Whistle Punks’ marketing, this includes SEO, social media, email and paid digital advertising.
