Implications for Digital Marketers
The regulations also have implications for digital marketers as they are required to provide specific details about the products and services for advertisement approval. This includes uploading details such as product name, company name, address, and self-declaration for visibility. Moreover, different types of ads need to be uploaded in a specific URL style for approval, reflecting the comprehensive nature of the new rule and its impact on the marketing practices.
Impact on the Industry
The regulations underscore the importance of transparency and accountability in advertising. The Supreme Court’s directive emphasizes the need for advertisers to submit a self-declaration certificate before broadcasting or publishing advertisements, ensuring compliance with regulatory guidelines. This not only has legal ramifications but also reshapes the dynamics of advertising in the digital landscape, potentially leading to associated costs for compliance with the new rule.
