I have often been annoyed at shady marketing practices. And try when I can to educate others. This badge and your initiative is a great way to bring more awareness to these practices, but especially to alternatives to them.

I am taking this pledge because I believe in serving people. I believe in serving people over benefits. I pledge to be honest and act with integrity in my business. I don’t want to sell to people in the same way I hate being sold to. It doesn’t feel right because it doesn’t align to my personal and business values.

I hate selling to people in a way that ‘targets’ or baits them. I want to provide a valuable service to people that are really interested in what I’m doing.

I want to build a business from the ground up to disrupt oppressive systems – part of that is changing business practices to be more ethical, including how products and services are marketed. I want our business to model solutions and to help others find the ways that resonate with them (their passions and ways of being) to create systems change through their own sphere(s) of influence.

I am making the ethical move because I am asking people to trust me in having sensitive and delicate conversations. How can I ask them to place their trust in me unless I show up and demonstrate that I am worthy of this trust by communicating in a clear, honest, open and transparent way?

I believe in a person choosing products not false countdowns and stress being indicators that they should buy.

I am well aware of the unethical gemstone and jewelry-making industry. I have always ensured that I source my stones and metals from people I know and trust to act in a socially and environmentally responsible manner that respects human, labor and land rights and acceptable health and safety standards.

I am making the pledge because I believe that an ethical way of selling and marketing for brands is not only possible but it is the only way to make a change.

I have been following the Ethical Move for a while and have been striving to work in alignment with the Pledges and guiding my clients by these ways of working, however, I was nervous that I was not doing things exactly right. After trading for 6 months I feel I can confidently say I am working in alignment with the pledge now and I want to be able to share with more people and have more open conversations about why I took this and how this can also guide them into doing business better.

I am making the ethical move because I have seen how marketing can manipulate. I pledge to be honest and act with integrity in my business dealings. Lots of marketing tactics are used that are plain unethical and I prefer not to be part of this marketing problem. Long live great, sincere & honest marketing!
