A Calm Checklist for Promo-Week Visibility
Protect the offer without fake urgency. What to verify before, during, and after a trade promo.
Promo weeks create noise. Your job is to keep the shelf honest: correct price flash, stock behind the claim, and POS that matches what the till will ring.
Before the week starts, confirm fixture space with the retailer and print only what you can install. Mid-week, spot-check hero stores for empty dump bins and missing talkers. After, score what held and what vanished.
Avoid theatrical scarcity language on floor materials. Shoppers and store managers notice when claims feel forced. Clear offer, clear SKU, clear dates — that is enough.
Share the same scorecard with sales and marketing. When both teams see the same photos, the next promo briefing gets shorter and sharper.
