A range review that ignores authenticity checks will often produce a confident decision and a disappointing quarter on the Box 5.
The most common mistake is optimising for the first order instead of the fourth, which is where Box 5 economics actually settle.
Why authenticity checks matters on the Box 5
A scratch code or QR verification on every unit is now the minimum expectation.
Retail staff rarely ask about authenticity checks directly, but their questions almost always lead back to it.
Batch numbers should match between inner tray, carton and invoice.
