RE: PRESS RELEASE – SEMINAR MARKETING
Consumers who plan to attend free seminars should be aware that in most cases the presenters will promote products and services that are for sale. Products sold at these seminars include self improvement, investment education materials, home based businesses and timeshare vacation packages. The Ulster County District Attorney’s Division of Consumer Affairs offers the following tips to individuals interested in attending such seminars:
· Take your time. Avoid high-pressure sales pitches that require you to buy now or risk losing out on the opportunity;
· Check out the company before signing a contract. What is the physical address and reputation of the company?;
· Be sure to read and understand the entire contract before signing. What is the cancellation/refund policy?
