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. 

Our onboarding period takes between 1-2 weeks depending on the amount of custom work required.

MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) is a pricing policy that some manufacturers and distributors use to set the minimum price at which their products can be advertised. This policy is often enforced by the manufacturer or distributor and is designed to protect the brand's pricing structure and ensure that resellers do not advertise the product at prices that are too low.

MAP policies are used in a variety of industries, including consumer electronics, automotive parts, and sporting goods. Some retailers may choose to adhere to MAP policies in order to maintain a good relationship with the manufacturer or distributor and continue to receive product shipments. Others may decide to ignore the policy and advertise the product at a lower price in an effort to attract more customers. It is important to note that MAP policies do not dictate the price at which a product can be sold, only the minimum price at which it can be advertised.

A MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) violation occurs when a reseller advertises a product at a price lower than the agreed-upon minimum advertised price set by the manufacturer or distributor.
