QFD requires end-to-end quality - including advertising

A major credit card company promoted a hotel rebate program with a major hotel chain. They mailed a 4-color postcard stating the promotion and that "no enrollment is necessary." The terms and conditions stated the promotion dates and the use of the credit card. 8 months and several enquiries later, the credit card company stated the rules require "enrolling" for the promotion in advance. From a QFD perspective, when creating a new "product," even an advertisement or promotion, the quality of downstream processes such as design and layout of the mail item, disclosure of terms and conditions, etc. must be connected to the actual program.
