United States: Price Advertising: What Retailers Need To Know

Webinar-of-the-Month Club for Retailers

This webinar is for retailers who feature comparative price advertising or BOGO (buy one, get one free) offers. It will focus on best compliance practices in light of the thicket of federal and state laws governing price advertising, as well as litigation strategies for defending against price advertising lawsuits brought by class action lawyers and government prosecutors. In addition, in light of the pandemic and other recent events, the speakers will discuss price-gouging laws.
