Everyone loves to flaunt a celebrity inspired lifestyle with luxurious brands. But lurking underneath is a severe crisis of counterfeit goods that even threatens universal human values. The counterfeit goods market is associated with human trafficking. Taking it head on is a former social worker and founder of the Authenticate Pro app, which is inviting funding on Kickstarter.
The Authenticate Pro project is ready for launch in mid July, having gone past the minimum viable product and beta phases. The Kickstarter campaign is live at: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/authenticate/the-world-has-a-counterfeit-merchandise-crisis-you?ref=4nludh
Authenticate Pro App aims to change the way goods are bought and sold. Ray Salem and his team have worked hard for the last two and a half years, and the fruits of their labor will soon go public. The Authenticate Pro app has completed its beta website – the beta version is ready for iOS, and has been tested at four retail stores with flying colors, increasing their sales manifold. The app has been used on e-Bay, Poshmark and at local sellers.
“Feeling humbled with 205 pre-orders for authentication from 84 backers. Thank you again for your continued support to bring this project to life and help make the world a better, authentic place,” says Ray Salem.
Some estimates indicate the counterfeit market to be as large as $1.7 trillion worth of imitation merchandise. The fake market impacts consumer buying confidence, as the question, ‘Is this authentic and genuine?’ does not have a reliable answer.
The patent-pending method used by Authenticate Pro employs unbiased third-party experts and brings together buyers and sellers during a brand name purchase. The first option allows authentication for buyers who can use it to get information for their own sake. The second option is for sellers to authenticate along with a guarantee when experts are involved. The third option is for approved authentic stores and high volume retailers for free authentication offered to buyers.
In the second phase, Authentic Pro will be used to authenticate Rolex watches, iPhones and other expert related authentication. In the third phase, Authentic Pro will feature GPS tracking for high-end merchandise.
