The FOREO story
FOREO, one of the world’s most popular cosmetics companies, and the maker of the iconic LUNA mini 2 facial brush was founded in 2013, in Sweden. Its founder, Filip Sedic, came up with the idea whilst shopping with his wife and seeing her struggle to find effective skincare cleansing products.
Over time, Filip developed the idea for the LUNA range of products and in six years they grew from two employees at their Swedish headquarters to over 3,000 people worldwide making a mark with their beauty products in the cosmetics industry.
Counterfeits causing loss of consumer trust
The counterfeits found online were affecting FOREO’s brand reputation tremendously with consumers losing trust in the brand and faith in obtaining a legitimate, high-quality FOREO product. Counterfeit cosmetics also affected the relationship between the beauty giant and their third-party retail partners, who would question how to spot a fake FOREO and whether some of these online sales were legitimate.
The brand protection solution
Prior to using Red Points, employees had to spend hours of their valuable time going one by one after the fake goods. A lot of valuable time was invested in dealing with consumer complaints about low-quality, fake products impacting FOREO’s brand reputation.
Red Points’ Brand Intelligence platform helps FOREO to save time, keep the counterfeits issue under control, and make informed decisions to drive their online brand protection strategy. Since using Red Points, FOREO has managed to take down 116,214+ listings and more than $176.6 Million worth of counterfeits while winning their consumers’ trust back.
