Age Verification Mystery Shopping
Avoid costly compliance violations and enjoy peace of mind.
Protect your business from fines, legal issues, and reputation damage by implementing affordable, proactive age verification shops.
In today’s increasingly regulated landscape, businesses that sell age-restricted products like alcohol, tobacco, and vape products face strict compliance requirements. The risks of non-compliance aren’t just financial; they can also affect your reputation and customer trust. Failing to verify customer age properly can result in substantial fines, legal penalties, and even operational shutdowns.
Age Verification Shops from Market Force can help ensure you meet legal standards and avoid costly mistakes. Our global team of mystery shoppers assess whether retailers correctly verify the age of customers purchasing age-restricted products. You’ll receive comprehensive reporting that includes insights on compliance gaps, risk factors, and improvement opportunities. We work closely with businesses to help them implement and maintain the right protocols for safe, effective age verification practices.
Our experts have written a guide to help you navigate the rules imposed across major US states to help you plan your age verification mystery shopping strategy. Custom reports are also available for specific countries/regions if needed.
Regulatory bodies around the world are ramping up their scrutiny of age verification processes to protect minors from restricted products and services. Companies that don’t comply can face:
- Hefty fines that can reach thousands or even millions of dollars
- Loss of licenses for failure to adhere to legal standards
- Reputational damage as customers lose trust in your brand’s responsibility
- Legal actions and lawsuits, which can lead to long-lasting business impacts
Our Age Verification Shops help your business mitigate these risks by assessing your current execution of this critical step so you can plan to reduce risk and avoid a shut down of critical posit centers within your business.
