Aim

Help organisations understand and apply UK consumer pricing and advertising rules. Through practical examples and scenarios, learners develop the confidence to recognise misleading pricing, communicate costs clearly and ensure consumers receive accurate information before making purchasing decisions.

Why?

Pricing and advertising rules affect almost every business selling to consumers. Misleading offers, hidden charges, unclear discounts and confusing promotional claims can lead to complaints, enforcement action and lost customer trust. Understanding the rules helps businesses avoid costly mistakes and provide clearer, fairer information throughout the customer journey.

Who is it for?

Particularly relevant to retail and eCommerce teams, marketing and advertising staff, sales teams, customer service, compliance professionals and managers responsible for approving promotions and pricing decisions.
