into each of these ideas to explore what this looks like in practice.<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 21\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<h3>1. Centralised communication and oversight<\/h3>\n<p>This top-down approach maintained control with corporate headquarters. Typically, it used corporate or regional representatives to call, email, or visit each location regularly or after each installation.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Content management and guidelines<\/h3>\n<p>This approach commonly involved sending physical or digital guides of planograms to stores. Plans would include the times when materials should be set up. And store managers would sign off on the sheet when complete and return it to corporate headquarters. Additionally, some retailers provided instructions in video format so their teams could watch and learn how to implement materials.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Store personnel and dedicated staff<\/h3>\n<p>In combination with the other methods, most retailers delegated responsibility for campaign setup to store managers. In some cases, store managers provided photographic evidence to demonstrate compliance.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Technology and tools<\/h3>\n<p>The technology and tools used to support compliance ranged from workforce management and campaign management platforms that managed the entire communications process to CMS platforms and intranets to share information. While only a few retailers reported using this method, it was very effective.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Verification and monitoring<\/h3>\n<p>Verification and monitoring were commonly used alongside other practices above. Mostly, verification was reported through photo submissions or signed checklists. However, some retailers hired secret shoppers to provide feedback on compliance, while others used a top-down approach, with regional managers inspecting materials.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Verification &amp; monitoring: The missing step to simplify promotional compliance<\/h2>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have a process at the moment, this article should already have given you ideas to get started. However, if you have a process and compliance is still causing you headaches, then the most important step to add is Verification &amp; Monitoring.<\/p>\n<p>While 54% of retailers with a process still described ensuring compliance as being a significant issue, none of the 13 retailers using verification and monitoring methods as part of their processes described promotional compliance as a pain point.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, implementing verification and monitoring isn&#8217;t a simple process. If only 13 out of 225 retailers are using this method, the big question has to be, why aren&#8217;t more using it? And, importantly, how can multi-location retailers implement it?<\/p>\n<p>We talk about <a href=\"https:\/\/colateral.io\/en\/blog\/what-is-display-compliance-how-to-ensure-100-accuracy\/\">how to ensure 100% compliance<\/a> in more detail in this article. However, for this article, we wanted to dig into what our survey respondents thought.<\/p>\n<h2>Technology is the answer<\/h2>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 24\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Retailers are beginning to realise they can no longer continue with the same processes. We asked retailers for their thoughts on using technology in some specific situations to support their in-store marketing, and they were overwhelmingly in favour. The chart below shows that 86% of retailers said that having online audit\/compliance capabilities for every location in their organisation would be helpful.
