Our store does the ad walk/audit (as we call it) after each block is finished during ad setup. 1-2 people stay behind and go down each aisle checking for missing signs. It takes about 10+ minutes or so for a block. We're still trying to figure out the part of who prints off and puts up the missing signs. Some weekends its the LOD, other weekends its been our signing guy or the ad setup team (if the ad was small and we finished early) and other times I don't think it really gets completed because they haven't figured out if we're going to have to do this we need more hours for it.
I was curious as to whether we got them early or not (was sure we did). I'll definitely do that next time around and take some time Friday/sat and prep.Check out the ad before it is set on Sunday. You should have a copy of the ad on fridays for starters.
Yeah, that sounds about right for how long it took the LOD. Used to be each TM would take a block and work the signs in that area, then do the ad walk. Then it became the whole signing team would wave the ad, then the LOD did the audit. So it took forever to get done in between all their other tasks. Then the printer stopped sending us most our signs and it got to be kind of a mess. So we come to the current setup.I'm an intern, and was handed off the ad walk today. Took me two and a half hours. Probably could have been a little shorter but it seems like a big waste of time (not in the sense that it's useless, ads drive those comps), and I'm curious if any veterans know of quick efficient tips on getting this done in a timely matter.
I thought of doing it during ad set up but seems like that would halt production of the setup process, our store is low volume so we don't have many TMs in the morning to get it done to begin with.
