Marketing doing an awful job

Can we get through a single sales cycle without mistakes being made with signage. Every cycle emails come down because pricing or the the signs sent to the store are not worded correctly.

I worked the holiday table in 2017 when all the menu books were sent out with inaccurate pricing. At one point we were told that we would be sent stickers to cover the incorrect prices..because that's the best idea.

If your promotional materials have pricing/wording errors there's a good chance you can also blame the product teams for not submitting their info on time, leading to a rushed final product from the marketing team.

Always bothered me when TLs would whine like this without considering that maybe their bosses are part of the problem too.

In the SW region we make all of our own signs.

There have always been mass issues with signs/promotions. It's annoying, but it's not like this just started. In fact I think its impossible to argue it hasn't improved in the last 10 years.

It’s not my worry more of an annoyance to have to do the same thing twice when I could be doing actually productive things.

That is not your job to worry about it . You don’t get paid to worry.
