create a goggle form to let anyone submit FD promo info.
publish the google spreadsheet so that everyone can see what is added.
add moderators for housekeeping.
The last time I read anything about this was some versions ago on the idea of a standard format for reporting promos.
I believe there are some basic and diverse problems that need to have satisfactory solutions. Usually when I do my own confirmation surveys before placing FD, I meet with the following:-
1) There are different terminologies used by various posters, conventional FD and various islamic products.
2) Some posters may not have the knowledge to understand the real meanings of the promo offer and may report their perception.
3) Not all promos are offered at all branches at the same starting and ending time.
4) There are special occasion promos for certain dates, branches or specially qualified customers.
5) Banks may end promo early, suspend and restart, or just continue to another date or until further notice, instead of ending as expected.
6) Some parts of promo can be adjusted and some maintained.
7) The lack of starting date and ending date, and when last reconfirmed makes it more difficult to check whether the situation is the same or different.
8) Some promos are publicised clearly but may be outdated, whilst others are not and have to be extracted from bank staff - who may not answer the same but according to instruction at their level or how they treat different customers - meaning different people may get different rate to the bank's benefit.
When we have collected and understood all the elements, then it is easier to formulate a way to settle or reduce the problems.
