5.7.3 Problems solved by advertising credit evaluation and supervision services

ICE8000 Advertising Credit Service noticed the following problems and designed a reliable solution:

1. False advertisements can be seen everywhere, and advertising fraud occurs from time to time;

Second, honest advertisers cannot effectively distinguish their own advertisements from dishonest advertisements;

Third, for the advertising audience, it is impossible to distinguish and identify the credibility of the advertisement. If you are not careful, you will fall into the hidden trap of false advertising.

5.7.4 Ideas and principles of advertising credit evaluation and supervision services to solve problems

The idea and principle of ICE8000 advertising credit service to solve the problem of advertising dishonesty can be summarized as "four guarantees and one increase", as follows:

1. The first guarantee is to ensure that the identity of the advertiser is true through investigation or review by credit practitioners. Some scammers use fake IDs to publish false advertisements, and some even use fake IDs to register companies and publish false advertisements to the outside world.

Second, the second guarantee is: the content of the advertisement is legal after being reviewed by credit practitioners.

Three, the third guarantee is: through the review of credit practitioners, the advertisement has no obvious flaws, including whether there are obvious exaggerated words, unrealizable content, or content that violates social morality and social ethics. For example, the advertisement promises that hepatitis B can be completely cured through three courses of treatment. This advertisement has obvious flaws, because the current level of medical technology cannot completely cure hepatitis B.

Fourth, the fourth guarantee is: through the inspection or investigation organized by ICE8000 credit agency, whether the advertisement content can be verified or falsified. If the content of the advertisement can be verified, it is of course good; if it cannot be verified, see if it can be falsified. Only verifiable or unfalsifiable advertising content can pass the credit evaluation.

5. One increase is to increase the cost of the advertiser's breach of trust. If the advertiser breaches the contract, the interested party of the advertisement can pursue its responsibility according to the ICE8000 standard. Since advertisers will be severely punished for their dishonesty, the cost of dishonesty will increase, the benefits of dishonesty will decrease accordingly, and the subjective impulse of advertisers to break faith will decrease. After the advertiser breaches the contract, unless he corrects the breach of trust or obtains the understanding of the other party, the credit penalty of ICE8000 will make it difficult to continue to develop.
