EANs allow marketplaces and search engines to structure the product data so that they can improve customer experience. They are the critical elements behind product reviews on Amazon, which buyers often use to make the purchase decision.
There is often confusion around where we should get these EANs and whether we purchase or rent EANs. So, in this podcast, Lorna from GS1 UK explains how EANs work and a bit more.
Key things you will learn:
– EAN and UPC, what is the difference?
– How to avoid Fake EANs?
-Why do some UPCs not work with the brand registry?
-New offer from GS1 for a smaller range
– Issues with using a 3rd party number
