But , the biggest holiday compliance fail I still see is mismatched terms across channels. Tying into the DAM chatter, we store offer terms (cap, required SKUs, dates, stackability) as one JSON field in our PIM and push it to Shopify, email, and ad creatives via the DAM so the same text auto-populates; before go-live we freeze codes 48 hours and run a 10-minute stacking/price test with a dummy account. If you need a rule, mirror the FTC’s clear-and-conspicuous guidance and keep this in the brief: https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/advertising-and-marketing.
