Prize promotions—such as sweepstakes, contests and giveaways—are popular and effective ways for healthcare organizations to attract, engage and retain customers; increase brand awareness; and, for non-profits, raise funds. They also are governed, however, by a vast array of state and federal laws. Those unaware of the regulations may find themselves facing serious legal and public relations repercussions—including significant fines and even criminal prosecution in some states.
How can you safely navigate the potential minefield of laws and regulations governing prize promotions? How can you reap the business rewards without triggering the legal risks? And what added regulatory issues increase the complexity for healthcare organizations?
