If you're a brand selling products through retailers, you may have heard of the term MAP policy. MAP stands for Minimum Advertised Price, and it's a policy that sets a minimum price at which retailers can advertise your products. MAP policies can be beneficial for brands, as they help protect brand value and maintain healthy profit margins for all parties involved. In this blog post, we'll explore the importance of MAP policies and how SIGONNA can help brands enforce them.
The Problem with No MAP Policy
When there's no MAP policy in place, retailers are free to advertise your products at any price they want. This can result in a race to the bottom, where retailers compete solely on price and your products lose their perceived value. This can be damaging to your brand and your relationships with other retailers who are following your pricing guidelines.
