Understanding Influencer and Affiliate Marketing Compliance — the disclosure and consumer protection obligations that apply when businesses market through influencers or affiliates — starts with knowing exactly what the process involves. Here's a step-by-step breakdown for businesses running influencer or affiliate marketing campaigns.
Step 1
Set clear disclosure expectations in influencer/affiliate agreements.
Step 2
Review sponsored content for accurate, non-misleading claims.
Step 3
Monitor published content for ongoing compliance.
Step 4
Address any compliance issues raised promptly.
Documents to Keep Ready
Before starting, it helps to have these ready so the process moves without unnecessary back-and-forth:
- Clear disclosure requirements communicated to influencers/affiliates
- Written agreements outlining compliance expectations
- Review of claims made in sponsored content for accuracy
- Record of sponsorship/compensation arrangements
- Monitoring process for ongoing campaign compliance
- Grievance handling if a claim is challenged
What to Watch Out For
Not requiring clear 'sponsored' or 'ad' disclosure in influencer content — this is one of the most frequent slip-ups at this stage, so it's worth double-checking before you proceed.
