Compliant Incentives for Ecommerce Brands

Many ecommerce brands use giveaways, discount codes, warranty registration, loyalty offers, educational downloads, and bonus content as part of their post-purchase experience.

The key compliance consideration is ensuring offers are not conditioned on leaving a review.

Important Principle

Customers should not be required to leave a review to:

  • access a giveaway
  • receive a coupon
  • claim a reward
  • participate in an offer

Offers should be tied to engagement or participation — not review submission.

Safe vs Risky Framing

Safe framing: a reward tied to feedback, engagement, or warranty registration, regardless of sentiment.

Risky framing: a reward only for leaving a positive review, or only when the customer rates the product highly. This is the kind of selective publishing the FTC targets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I offer a discount for leaving a review?

An offer should not be conditioned on the review itself, and especially not on a positive review. Tying the offer to engagement (feedback, warranty registration, signup) rather than a public review is the compliant approach.

Can I run a giveaway tied to a survey?

Yes — as long as entry is open to all customers regardless of how they rate the product, and submitting a public review is not required to enter.
