6. Stock checks: we will need you go into stores to check stock of items (particularly during the first week of a new release).
There are a few things you will be looking for:
1. Is the item in stock? If so how many?
2. Is there a Bin Card with the artists name or is it just placed in the corresponding letter
3. Is it on a new release rack or promotional rack
4. Is it in a listening station
5. When applicable check if the release is in multiple locations (ex: is Felt in it's own section as well as in the Atmosphere and Murs sections)
6. Is it in the correct "genre" section
7. Are there displays up in the store for the release
8. Please include the address info for any store that has multiple locations so we are aware which location you are reporting
If you need to ask store workers any questions on your stock check runs please keep in mind it is more effective and better suited for our needs if you are doing these as a "customer" and not a R.S.E Street Teamer.
