An in-store launch asset checklist should specify what each asset helps the Shopper do, where it appears and who approves it. Prepare Product information, visual content, interactive logic, physical artwork and operational materials together. Track versions and requirements by Retailer, language and Touchpoint rather than treating the global launch toolkit as a finished retail Experience.
Agree the Experience before exporting assets
Start with the Shopper questions and intended physical placement. A comparison needs structured Product facts; a Story needs useful visual detail; a Finder needs recommendation rules. Confirm the actual screen orientation, viewport, print dimensions and accessibility requirements before the studio prepares final files.
Keep editable masters and usage-rights records. A social edit or global Product film may provide valuable material, but its pacing, text and framing should be adapted to the retail task.

Replace the owner and status fields with actual project information. Do not mark an item complete merely because a file exists; approval and testing are separate checks.
Prepare for each Touchpoint
For Interactive Displays, specify the installed orientation and resolution, accessible control layout, reset behaviour and any local playback requirements. Test the actual Device configuration rather than assuming standard browser behaviour.
For QR and NFC, test the final print or assembled carrier with representative phones. Make the physical invitation match the opening module. Record whether location mapping is store-specific or shared so reporting requirements do not arrive after production.
Separate editable text from footage where useful
Clean footage and separate text can make localisation and updates easier when the implementation supports them. Fixed playback exports may need embedded text or captions. Agree which workflow applies, retain editable sources and check that translated copy fits without losing essential qualifications.
Review any clinical, performance, compatibility or comparison claim with the appropriate Product specialist. Do not turn an illustrative line in a brief into an approved Product promise.
Include test and release evidence
Record tested devices, physical materials, languages and key outcomes. Check loading, navigation, access needs, pre-launch states and destinations. Confirm the configured analytics Events separately from the visual review.
After launch, retain the approved asset version and publish changes through a named owner. Remove expired offers and update Product information without losing the history needed to interpret reporting.
Final asset checklist
- Assets map to a defined Shopper task
- Product facts and rights are approved
- Every range and language variant is accounted for
- Physical proofs and target viewports are tested
- Finder rules and destinations have been checked
- Release, recovery and maintenance ownership is recorded

Frequently Asked Questions
Can we reuse global campaign assets in store?
Yes, where they serve the Shopper task and their rights permit it. Adapt the framing, text, pacing and interactive context, then test the final output on the intended Touchpoint.
What information does a Product Finder need?
It needs a confirmed Product range, decision-relevant attributes, question-to-recommendation rules and useful exception paths. Test every supported outcome before launch.
Should all launch video be portrait?
No. Prepare assets for the actual installed screen and mobile viewport. Check layout and readability for each orientation rather than stretching one export. ## Related guides - [Prepare retail video](/guides/content-and-experience/how-to-write-and-edit-video-for-silent-retail-displays) - [Use the Product Story storyboard](/guides/content-and-experience/how-to-create-engaging-in-store-product-stories) - [Assemble the approval pack](/guides/checklists-and-templates/retailer-approval-pack-template-for-a-product-launch)
