What follows is a practical view of authenticity checks for the Box 2, written for people who place repeat orders rather than one off buys.
Shops that receive a short briefing on authenticity checks convert noticeably better than shops that only receive stock.
Why authenticity checks matters on the Box 2
A scratch code or QR verification on every unit is now the minimum expectation.
