A dangerous choice

The challenge

100%, the brand that dominates the motocross goggles market in America, discovered fake versions of their products in a number of Chinese marketplaces, such as Aliexpress and Alibaba, but also on Facebook and Instagram. When it became apparent that all their time, money, and reputation were in danger, they tried to fix it themselves. But given the scale of the issue, they weren’t able to make enough of an impact.

The solution

According to Costello, their design is a critical element of their products. They invest a great deal of time and money into the development and quality of their optics and lenses, and the materials are chosen and designed for athletes. When they discovered the counterfeits online, they could not believe it. They got in contact with Red Points since they knew that they couldn’t handle it by themselves and that the only way to solve this online problem would be a technological solution.

The result

100% has been using Red Points for over a year now, and more than 13,200 infringing products have been removed, which represents a success rate of 90%. Counterfeits have been found on more than 15 online platforms, both on marketplaces and social media.
