Disguise yourself as a customer...and go to jail
Ever tempted to give your own products a 5-star review or write a fake blog post - disguised as a customer?
Don't.
Clearly it is a stupid thing to do. Dishonest (not like us marketers). And potentially damaging for your brand. But it will also soon be illegal. You could find yourself facing criminal charges. New regulations are clamping down on fake reviews on the likes of Amazon or TripAdvisor, as well as many others. This is great news and very welcomed. More info here.
