Situation with Purchase of Counterfeit Laser Printer Cartridges

About the project

Traditionally, it is believed that the marketing activities of companies are aimed at solving business problems, for example, such as stimulating sales, increasing profits, and gaining market share. However, sometimes companies face with the tasks that are not related to direct benefits, but are reputational or even educational in nature.

An example of such a situation is the research that was carried out by the specialists from Yasno Research & Consulting Group for the international manufacturer of copying machines.

The focus of the company was to understand the level of awareness of the company’s personnel as to the distribution of counterfeit cartridges on the market.

  • What attention do consumers pay to the issue of product originality?
  • What markers are used to recognize counterfeits?
  • Have you faced the situation of buying counterfeits? How did you act?
