We Card’s message to retailers is to ramp up and renew training and compliance efforts during We Card’s 11th National Awareness Month in September as FDA steps up enforcement activities.
We Card learned through experience, thousands of surveys and research that successful training is an ongoing process, not a one-time encounter. Initial training followed by constant reinforcement will teach your employees what they need to know and do to prevent underage tobacco, alcohol or vapor sales.
Join the tens of thousands of retailers who are helping to prevent and discourage adult purchases of tobacco and vaping products on behalf of underage people.
ID Check-Up is a mystery shopping program that checks whether employees are properly carding customers for age-restricted products, including tobacco, alcohol, e-cigarette, and vaping products. Use it to find out how well your employees are incorporating their training into real-world situations and reinforce good habits in your entire staff.
We Card has a set of 16 best practices. We Card’s Guide to Best Practices is designed to help you establish a comprehensive program for your store to identify and deny underage purchase attempts of age-restricted products.
If the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) visited your store to check for tobacco or vapor product compliance, would you even know it? The answer is: maybe not. FDA regularly performs undercover buy inspections, often with a minor who tries to buy an age-restricted product, without revealing themselves to employees.
Trainees respond with a big thumbs up! What did you like most? That’s what we asked trainees who completed We Card online training. Their feedback is important because it gives us insight into their knowledge gain and any needed course adjustments.
Begin a successful new year with our We Card Training Courses. Three courses are available. Each course is interactive, engaging, and effective in training store managers and employees how to responsibly sell age-restricted tobacco and vape products.
Preventing underage sales of age-restricted products can be a lot easier by leaning on The We Card Program.
We Card’s Renewal Kit is chock full of tools to help retailers ensure that they are doing everything they can do to prevent underage sales which can lead to stiff fines and penalties.
As 2022 winds down, now is the time to think about preparing your store for the new year. One of the most important things retailers can do to be ready for 2023 is to have We Card Age-of-Purchase Calendars ready at each register.
