WHY MAP ENFORCEMENT IS IMPORTANT
Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) policies are agreements between suppliers and retailers that set the lowest price at which a product can be advertised. Ignoring MAP guidelines can have severe consequences: it can harm a brand’s image, limit innovation for manufacturers, and disadvantage smaller retailers, resulting in a less competitive market. Where Amazon prioritizes a free and competitive marketplace without formally acknowledging MAP policies, Weby Corp serves as your vigilant ally. We assist in maintaining consistent pricing across all channels, building customer trust and loyalty, and ensuring healthy profit margins for manufacturers and retailers. At Weby Corp, we excel in MAP enforcement services by tracking and addressing violations using advanced technology and human oversight. Our approach safeguards your brand, encourages fair competition, and strengthens retailer relationships. |

FAQ
A MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) violation happens when a product is advertised or sold on Amazon below the manufacturer's set minimum price. This can harm brand value, create unfair competition, and disrupt market balance among retailers.
Amazon itself does not enforce MAP policies as it prioritizes maintaining a competitive marketplace. Enforcement of MAP is typically the responsibility of the brand or manufacturer to monitor and manage through agreements with their retailers and distributors.
Brands can monitor MAP violations on Amazon by using automated tools and turn to an Amazon services agency such as Weby Corp for help. MAP monitoring and policy enforcement can be time-consuming, even with software, so it can be more beneficial for a brand to entrust locating and communicating with violating resellers to an agency.
Upon identifying a MAP violation, a brand should first verify the breach with documentation. Then, communicate directly with the violator for voluntary compliance, followed by stricter enforcement actions such as terminating the retailer’s right to sell the product if necessary. Legal action can also be considered for persistent offenders.
