As you have learnt to trust and rely on the superior quality of well known brands, it is worth knowing the basics of discerning authentic branded goods from lookalikes or simply counterfeits.
Here are a few quick points to help you identify and secure authentic branded goods and services:
- LOOK for a trade mark or trade logo usually accompanied by a symbol ™ or ® predominantly displayed on the goods or packaging materials
- LOOK at the price and if it is too good to be true, it is very likely an imitator of the real thing, so beware!
- LOOK at the source of supply and never be shy to ask questions, as a legitimate seller of authentic branded merchandise would only be too happy to provide you proof of the manufacturer or seller warranty.
With the advent of AI technology, it is confusing and oftentimes misleading when discerning authentic information from hearsays or paid advertisements overloaded on the countless social media platforms.
The immediate form of brand identification can usually be found in product labels or swing tags affixed to the goods and services, which usually display the contacts of a brand manufacturer or licensed distributor. See some sample brand labels or packaging of the merchandise sold on the AQUAQUEEN® Marketplace here.
One thing is for sure, no matter the nature of a consumer's concerns, a genuine brand owner or licensed distributor will never shy away from addressing any concerns about the brand identity or iauthenticity of the goods and services represented.
