How to Maintain Compliance with POS Regulations in Beer Distribution

Point of Sale (POS) materials are a great way to advertise and promote products, particularly in the beer distribution industry. Unfortunately, these materials can quickly become outdated or obsolete, meaning they must be removed and replaced with new materials on a regular basis. But how do you make sure that you remain compliant with all regulations regarding placement and removal of POS materials in the beer distribution industry? Let's break it down.

The Laws and Regulations That Govern Placement and Removal of POS Materials in Beer Distribution

The laws governing the placement and removal of POS materials vary from state to state, but most have some form of regulation that requires distributors and retailers to follow certain rules when it comes to displaying promotional items. These regulations typically cover topics such as:

  • The type of material which may be used for advertising purposes;

  • The size and placement of advertising material;

  • The duration for which an advertisement may be displayed;

  • Restrictions on content; and

  • Requirements regarding the frequency of rotation or replacement.

It is important that distributors and retailers understand their local laws before implementing any changes to their existing advertising strategy. Additionally, distributors and retailers should keep up-to-date records on all promotional items they display so they can easily track their compliance status. This is especially important if there are any changes made to the types or amounts of POS material being used.
