Presentation sales events on retreat

(Prague, February 16, 2018) Results of inspections carried out in 2017 proved that the ordinary presentation sales events are on retreat. Last year, violations of law were discovered in 29% of all inspected presentation sales events, which was a significant improvement when compared with 2016 when the authority detected violations of law in 76% of cases. However, deceptive and aggressive practices of these companies move to the e-commerce environment or are a part of sales on the phone. “A good news for the consumers is that the Czech Trade Inspection Authority saw a decline in the number of organized presentation sales events. Despite this fact, inspections will continue also in 2018 because mostly seniors are the victims,” said the Director General of the CTIA Mojmír Bezecný.
