Quinnovative Marketing

If you're a local business, don't underestimate the value of grassroots marketing opportunities such as sponsoring a local event. Supporting nonprofits in your area is a great way to give back in a meaningful way and get some exposure at the same time.

We were proud to again be a hole sponsor of the “Swing for History in 2025” Benefit Golf Tournament for Pilgrim Hall Museum. The tournament took place last week at Southers Marsh Golf Club.🏌️

Pilgrim Hall is the oldest continuously operating public museum in the USA, located in historic Plymouth, MA! Proceeds from the tournament will support the completion of extensive renovations to the museum’s 1824 Main Gallery.

If you're in the area, be sure to make some time to explore Pilgrim Hall’s fascinating exhibits.

Wondering about targeting teens with social media ads? Here’s what you need to know...

During our recent Marketing Roundtable hosted by SCORE Mentors, a question came up about laws around targeting teens with social media ads in the U.S. The answer is yes – there are regulations to consider! Here’s a quick rundown:

➡️ Under 13: The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) restricts targeted advertising and data collection for children under 13 without parental consent.

➡️ 13-17: New laws are on the horizon! The Children and Teens' Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA 2.0) and the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) are proposed to expand protections to teens up to 17 years old, which would ban targeted ads to this group.

⚠️ Stay Compliant: Some states are already implementing their own restrictions, like requiring parental permission for kids under 16 to use social media. And federal agencies, like the FTC, are pushing for stronger rules to limit monetization of youth data.

As these rules evolve, it’s crucial for businesses to stay up-to-date. Targeting minors may seem like a grey area, but compliance ensures both protection for young users and trust in your brand.
