Getting the word out about your CBD topicals? It sounds easy—until your ad is withdrawn, your website banned, or your social post disappears before it even reaches your followers. Though the guidelines are rigorous, you can nevertheless highlight your lotions, balms, and roll-ons using the correct strategy. Here’s tips for advertising CBD topicals to keep their advertising running and their reputations flawless:
Keep to the facts; avoid medical promises.
Strong assertions will tempt you not to Use language like “soothes,,” “hydrates,” or “supports healthy skin,” instead of “heals joint pain,” or “treats eczema. Ad content should highlight your topical’s vibe and the effort you went into creating it, not what it can heal.
Present your transparent ingredients and openness.
Consumers are finicky about what they put on their skin. Emphasize your own, natural, plant-based recipes. Talk about outside third-party quality and purity testing. Not only do banners declaring “Lab-Tested & Paraben-Free” foster confidence; they pass compliance tests more often.
Make Use of Testimonials Carefully
Social proof may trip you up as well as sell. Before showing in advertising, filter user reviews. Avoid those referencing curing or treating illnesses. Share high comments on texture, smell, or general skincare experience.
Steer Clear of Ideas Designed for Children
Keep packaging, creative, and ads targeted at adults. Not cartoon mascots or young pop-culture references. You want nothing except a regulator worried about children showing interest in your items.
Look at Your Visuals
Images and graphics should center on the adults or product being used. Steer clear of prescriptive images illustrating direct application to a particular problem area. Better still, lifestyle images of wellness practices or self-care regimens appeal.
Disclaimers: Always
Every banner, article, and landing page should have a brief legal statement saying, “Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.” For more clarification, some companies even include “For adults 18+ only.”
Understand the particular guidelines of the Platform.
One social network may allow something that another bans. See those advertising terms, where your revenue depends on it (because it does). If you’re not sure, choose instructional materials above hard sales.
Slant Towards Education
Share the “why” behind your formulations—that is, explain how CBD interacts with the skin or why particular essential oils are used. A naturally interested client is more likely to stick with you and trust you.
The secret sauce is emphasizing honest marketing, teaching your audience, and rule adherence. Results come from honest, clear communication and respect of the current policies; extravagant promises are not necessary. Not the penalty box, but it is what keeps your CBD topicals in the front of mind.
