Category managers now have an attractive opportunity to adapt the best practices seen within this category as well as those being leveraged in other non-related categories. This report summarizes the best practices picked from across multiple categories that could work well for category managers involved with Ambient Merchandising procurement strategy.

For example, Buyers should ensure that service providers use digital asset management tools for storing and retrieval of digital assets such as photographs, video graphs, music, animation content. Buyers can use these tools to increase their brands consistency and optimize their workflow.

While engaging with a service provider, buyers should procure creative services from a tier 1 creative agency and outsource the production work to a local agency to reduce billing rates.

Buyers should engage with service providers that provide services through an hourly based pricing model. Within an hourly based pricing model, buyers would have a fair idea of the exact time required for the work done by service provider. Consequently, billing rates will be implemented accordingly.
