Do Knock-Offs Prove the Value of a Brand?
Season 2013 Episode 12 | 7m 38s
Knock-off products might not be as detrimental to a brand as they initially seem.
We're willing to pay hundreds or thousands more for a specific brand name item, but sometimes it can be tempting to go the way of the knock-off for a fraction of the price. The counterfeit industry is huge and isn't going anywhere, and companies spend huge amounts to dissuade people from buying "fakes". But are knock-offs REALLY a negative for the brand?
