“Grey market goods” are goods sold outside the authorized distribution channels by entities which may have no relationship with the producer of the goods.  While grey market merchandise is not necessarily counterfeit, it is also not considered legitimate, and can cause severe damage to a brand owner’s reputation and drive authorized seller’s out of business.  In addition, counterfeit goods are rampant throughout online e-commerce sites and are responsible for hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue lost by brand owners.   

The webinar will provide insights on solutions for overcoming the potential damage these rogue online sellers can do to a brand’s reputation and revenue.  Come join us, register below for the free webinar.
