Webinar Consumer-Centric Approach To Online Brand Protection

See how the right technology and best practices can ensure online markets are as clean as possible from counterfeit, pirated, or grey market listings.
Audience:
Open industry. All apparel and footwear industry professionals, regardless of AAFA membership, are encouraged to participate.
Description:
It probably comes as no surprise to brand owners that there has been a surge in counterfeit goods sold online in recent years. Research shows that 23 percent of consumers unknowingly purchase counterfeits, and most are well-intentioned buyers that recognize the value of acquiring the genuine article. Brand owners, meanwhile, are under increased pressure to redouble their brand protection efforts or risk lost revenue and a damaged reputation with consumers. 

With consumers squarely in the crosshairs of fraudsters and brandjackers, brand owners can turn to advanced technology to implement an effective consumer-centric approach to brand protection. Please join MarkMonitor brand protection expert, Charlie Abrahams, as he discusses how with the right technology and best practices, you can ensure that the most visible pages in search listings, marketplaces, and paid search ads are as clean as possible from counterfeit, pirated or grey market listings.

Attendees of this webinar will hear about:
  • The technologies that drive consumer-centric brand protection, from infringement monitoring to predictive threat-level analyses.
  • The importance of identifying the most egregious brand offenders to prioritize enforcements and remove infringing items.
  • Best approaches that can help you end the “whack-a-mole” game with counterfeiters.
