Below, we’ll explore the significance of anti-diversion strategies and how we can help safeguard your beauty and haircare products.

The pervasive issue of product diversion in beauty and haircare

Product diversion—or unauthorized distribution of products to unintended markets or unauthorized retailers—is a widespread challenge in these industries. It not only compromises the integrity of brands but can also lead to various negative consequences, including:

• Quality Control Issues: Diverted products may not meet the quality standards and safety regulations set by the brand, potentially endangering the health and satisfaction of consumers.
• Price Erosion: Diverted products are often sold at lower prices, which can undermine the perceived value of the brand’s products and affect overall pricing strategies.
• Brand Dilution: The presence of diverted products in unregulated markets can diminish brand exclusivity and premium perception.
• Consumer Confusion: When consumers unknowingly purchase diverted products, it can lead to confusion and mistrust, affecting brand loyalty.

How Systech can help address diversion

We offer a range of brand protection tools and technologies to combat diversion effectively. Here’s how their solutions can help the beauty and haircare industry:

• Serialization: Systech’s serialization solutions enable brands to assign unique identifiers to each product. This approach allows for real-time tracking and monitoring, making it challenging for diverted products to go unnoticed.
