Customer Impact Display Fees

April 06, 2018 08:39PM
I really like doing work for Customer Impact, but I'm finding that their payments for merchandising/display work and audits seem to be getting too low to even consider. I feel like jobs that paid $15 a few years ago should be in the $20 range now, but instead they are at $9 or so...is it just me? Am I being unreasonable? Would love to hear what others think.

Sometimes it depends on the amount of work you have to do. Check on seeing if something is up $15 having to put something up or change out then $20 should be ok but a lot of different displays should be more. For $5 just drive by and see if the place is open while you are on your way somewhere else and you do not have to go but maybe a mile out of your way.

I got that and thought 9.00 wouldn't be enough to get me out of the house for an audit.....I'll stick to their great restaurant shops....not getting on any freeway for under 20.00, if that.

Live consciously....

I agree, Irene! At least I can afford a meal with the restaurant shop. I feel like they are trying to compete with the Marketforce movie standee assignments with this latest round of assignments...let's see who can pay the least to have someone receive a package, cart to location,assemble and set up display. Oh, and if it's not used, don't forget to ship it back. If they go any lower, we'll be paying them to do this one...

I only picked them up because I was able to work them into a route of others shops. I did think it was quite a lower fee amount compared a similar "display repair" I did for them last fall which paid $20 vs $9. I am hoping that the instructions are actually as easy as they describe them to be.

Sounds like maybe a couple companies made low bids and CI had to come down to keep the project.

Yankeepoo2, please report back to let us know how it goes. I have held off taking these for many of the above reasons.

I am with you peeps! I saw those display assignments, too and I was like, "Are you serious!?" Yes, it seems that many companies want more for less. I have been getting "bonuses" with MF at the price some of my favorite projects used to me 5-10 years ago. Its so sad. I don't do nearly as much for them as I used to. Their base prices have gone to a ridiculous low!

I do merchandising for my regular job and if I was in the store already I might consider this at $15. They are now below Snap Audits' base price of $11.50 for similar assignments. Once I signed up for this, read the instructions, received the materials, drove to the store and spoke to the Representative the $9 would be already gone, they still need to pay to disassemble the display, assemble the new display and place the product on it, go in the backroom and break down the boxes and place them in the bailer and report the shop then pay to get me back to where I was. I'm sure they didn't bid low but are paying low because they can. More vacations and steak dinners for the owners.
