Proper merchandising is
the key to boost sales and improve brand loyalty. A planogram is an important
merchandising tool, designed to streamline presenting products to consumers. Planogram development and execution is the essential part of merchandising strategy. A well-executed planogram encourages shoppers to make a purchase, and even buy more products than they had intended to.Arranging related products within reach of each other, at the proper shelf
level, and at the right price, retailers stimulate sales.
FMCG and CPG
organizations mostly use text-based planograms while Apparel & Accessories
companies prefer visual planograms and presentations to better identify each
product.
The main purposes of
creating planograms are the following:
- To indicate the amount of space and store location for various products.
- To increase in-store compliance.
- To provide inventory control.
- To present new ideas for product displays.
If your company is not
using planograms yet, you should consider the opportunities to start. If you
are already using planograms, you can significantly improve retail space
planning by implementing a comprehensive merchandising
software solution. Merchandising software is
a comprehensive tool for retail execution that allows companies to plan,
organize and control all merchandising activities, including planogram
compliance checks.
