Here’s a chance to ask two attorneys, experts in the field, about your online marketing practices.  Is your brand protected?  Is your email safe?  What about your website content – is it legal?  This webinar will review these areas and more to help you ensure that your brand is protected and third parties are not using your brand or images inappropriately, that your email campaigns are not just revenue-producing but safe and legal, and that your online content is not going to cause you difficulty down the road.  Topics will also include pay-per-click bidding, the use of photography, and how to proactively avert legal problems simply by being aware of online opportunities, best practices, and risks.

HSMAI University offers this Webinar in conjunction with the recent publication of Profits and Pitfalls in Online Marketing: A Legal Desk Reference for Travel Executives, written by the webinar presenters.
