A credible screen offer should be specific enough to verify. Before buying, establish that the screen exists, the seller can offer its advertising space and the proposed delivery is clearly described. Attractive photographs and a public company name are not sufficient evidence of authority. Use a short verification process proportionate to the booking, and keep records of the checks that support your decision.
Verify the location and display
Request recent material that identifies the actual screen and its setting. Compare the address, orientation and specifications with the proposal. Ask questions where images or descriptions are inconsistent. A photograph copied from a well-known landmark does not establish that the seller controls that landmark’s inventory.
Verify the commercial authority
Identify the operating business and the person or organisation authorised to sell the placement. An intermediary should be able to explain its arrangement without impersonating the owner. Where necessary, confirm through an independently established business contact route. Publicly listed contact details are useful for verification, not automatic permission to open an account in that business’s name.
Use documented payment and terms
Confirm the booking amount, currency, provider and applicable conditions. Watch for unexplained changes to payment destinations or pressure to bypass the agreed platform. Keep invoices, order references and approvals together. A payment request should correspond to the inventory and deliverable that were actually agreed.
Verify evidence before completion
Match the approved creative and campaign dates with photographs and any relevant playback records. Question duplicate or unclear images. Use an approval workflow that can request corrections and retains history. For a disputed case, stop the automatic release path while the evidence and financial state are reviewed by an authorised person.
Your practical checklist
- Check the actual display and current location details.
- Confirm the seller’s authority independently where needed.
- Match the payment request to written booking terms.
- Review the evidence before approving completion.
Frequently asked questions
Can a company’s public email prove a listing is authorised?
No. It can provide a route to ask the company. The account and commercial authority still need appropriate confirmation.
What should I do if evidence looks reused?
Keep the relevant files and request clarification through the platform or authorised operator. Do not approve a payout until the issue has been reviewed.
Put the plan into practice
