I see now they want us to check with the client who will provide a Planogram (POG) to assist us in setting up the display. Has anyone done these? Seems like $25 isn't enough to go through this.

Oh, I hope "the client" WANTS you there, at least.
I was sent to a location to tidy a display and refill with back stock once and arrived to find that the display didn't exist. I had to argue to get paid because they tried to say I didn't give them enough information about their prospect's objections. That wasn't the assignment! And, the employees I asked about the lack of a display were hostile. "We don't have one and NEVER HAVE." Like someone else asked 40 times already?
So, I am curious and hope you follow up with whatever happens.
I'm sure that's all true. But, the response from the MSC was that they knew there weren't any cards on display at the store and the reason they sent me was to find out why the store doesn't offer them. It was a sales mission. They just hadn't bothered to tell me that.@jay225 wrote:

it can be tricky, because a lot of locations have done away with physical displays depending on the client. the big spinner displays you expect to find everywhere aren't usually there anymore(circle k for instance), and often there will be smaller sections of cards near the main register. they call it "qline" or whatever. there are some locations that got rid of their cards altogether, but it's few and far between from my experience.

I have done these for years also and this is the first one where I must construct the display.
