Useful Information to Clear Up Your Inquiries
What is MAP Enforcement?
MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) enforcement for authorized sellers involves ensuring that retailers comply with the brand’s set minimum price. It helps maintain consistent pricing across all sales channels, preventing price erosion and protecting brand value.
Why is MAP enforcement important for authorized sellers?
Consistent MAP enforcement ensures fair competition among authorized sellers and maintains brand reputation. When sellers follow MAP guidelines, it reduces pricing conflicts and creates a level playing field, which also helps in retaining buy box control on platforms like Amazon.
How does MAP enforcement differ from unauthorized seller enforcement?
MAP enforcement focuses on getting authorized sellers to comply with your pricing policies, while unauthorized seller enforcement involves identifying and taking action against sellers who are not permitted to sell your products at all. Both approaches aim to protect your brand, but MAP enforcement specifically targets price consistency among approved sellers.
What actions are taken if an authorized seller violates MAP?
When an authorized seller violates MAP, we may issue warning notifications, request corrective action, and engage with the seller directly. If non-compliance persists, we can escalate through formal notices, reduce product access, or take other steps to encourage compliance.
Can MAP enforcement improve my buy box percentage?
Yes, enforcing MAP among authorized sellers can help in maintaining the buy box on Amazon and other platforms. Consistent MAP compliance reduces price undercutting, which is a common factor affecting buy box eligibility, helping your listings stay competitive.
