How MAP Violations Can Erode Brand Perception

A brand's perception is closely tied to its pricing strategy. Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) policies help maintain the perceived value of products and protect a brand's reputation. However, violations of these policies can seriously harm brand perception. Here's how:

Diminished Brand Value: When retailers advertise below the MAP, it suggests that the product lacks the value the brand claims it has.
Loss of Trust: Consistency is key to trust. If consumers see fluctuating prices across various platforms, they may question the brand's reliability.
Reduced Profit Margins: With reduced prices, the brand and its compliant retailers could face shrinking profit margins, making it hard to invest back into the brand.
Quality Concerns: Low prices can often be misconstrued as a reflection of low quality, leading consumers to doubt the product's authenticity or effectiveness.

The Impact of Product Availability During the Amazon Great Indian Festival Sale

In 2023, Indian MSMEs expect a 15% online sales boost during the festive season, according to a Redseer report. But missing out on this opportunity can be a risk.

Picture this: You want to buy a Washing Machine from Brand A, but it's out of stock on sale day. What would you do? Switch to an alternative brand so as to not lose out on the incredible discounts. Brand B wins and Brand A loses a customer.

This seems to have been the case for one of the very notable brands in the market during the recent Amazon Great Indian Festival Sale.
