I’m no expert on marketing but I would have thought most marketing are PAID eg radio, tv, newspaper, Facebook etc… so I don’t see how this is any different. The whole point of marketing is to increase brand awareness, boost sales etc etc Again I don’t see anything different here. In fact if I was a customer paying for marketing I would question whether to use them again if it didn’t generate any new leads, increase brand awareness. Most of these marketing has a disclaimer at the bottom that says something along the lines of … this is not financial advice and does not take into account your own personal financial objectives etc. which means buy at your own risk
