Why Brand Alignment Is The Best Reliable Brand Management In The Industry For MAP Management.
If you are new to shopping for a brand protection provider, it might be confusing to tell the difference between companies. It might sound like everybody offers the same type of monitoring. This could not be further from the truth and not every company is going to offer you brand reputation.
The Competition
Brand Alignment
Conclusion:
One of the most important things you can look for in a monitoring software when selling on Amazon or any other reseller network, is frequency of crawling data. Due to the fast-changing nature of online marketplaces, the less often a marketplace is crawled, the slower you will know what is actually happening in real-time. Price monitoring cascading in particular requires hourly crawls in order to catch the authorized channels who violated MAP first. The less frequent the crawling, the more information that is missed. Which is why you need to protect your brand value and enforce your MAP. We have plenty more resources to learn more.

How Price Cascading Damages Your Brand
It Starts With An Authorized Channel Pricing Policy Violation
Amazon Vendor Central and Target both dropped below MAP on your product. When confronted, both marketplaces blames the other. Who was the first mover that started the price cascade?
Brand Alignment Stops Price Cascading In Its Tracks With Price Monitoring
With vigilant hourly monitoring, Brand Alignment catches the culprit with a timestamped screenshot. Armed with this information, the brand confidently approaches the violator and disputes the chargebacks. In some cases, brands choose to discontinue relationships with consistent violators.

An easy way to think about the distinction between MSRP and MAP is that MSRP is an unofficial higher restriction for your pricing, whilst your MAP is an official lower limit. A MAP is intended at the retailer, whereas MSRP is aimed at the consumer.
Map monitoring and enforcement is the process of handling all interactions with retailers and dealing with policy violators as they occur for brands, manufacturers, and wholesalers.
MAP means minimum advertised pricing. The rise of ecommerce has heightened the already fierce competition in the consumer goods sector. Minimum Advertised Pricing (MAP) policies can help with this.
