Second Placement

Checkout Zone Activation
  • Why?

    Ensure the constant growth of business profitability in POINT OF PURCHASE

  • How?

    Provide the right conditions for sales growth of the most profitable categories and packages in the most frequented areas of the store.

  • What?

    Select the “busiest” areas in the store that have the greatest potential for your categories such as the Checkout Zone.

    Equip the checkout zone most frequently visited by shoppers with a Smart Shelf™ system and measure how its activation affects incremental volume and value.

Outcome & Conclusions
  • Checkout zone generates significant incremental volume giving > PLN 4,000 in additional net revenue / 1 activation per year.
  • Allows to neatly combine “chilled space” with “ambient space” in the “busiest” section of stores.
  • Improves the total mix of packaging and high-profit categories. 
  • Opens up opportunities to increase the value of the average basket thanks to the “combo” effect of Beverage + Snack.

  • Why?

    Looking for a way to stand out with product display in the section, resulting in more sales transactions.

  • How?

    Ensure the availability of chilled product in the most cost-effective packaging in the shoppers’ purchase decision zone, along with a system for triggering consumer messages.

  • What?

    Equip your cooler with SMART SHELF® technology along with a system for automatically displaying consumer content on a digital signage monitor integrated vertically into the cooler’s topper. Measure the impact of dynamic display of consumer marketing content on category sales volume.

Outcome & Conclusions

In stores with a stabilized display structure, the most important source of sales volume is the single-door cooler, which accounts for about 50% of total store sales volume.

Stores that were supplied with a cooler during the survey recorded more than 30% growth in the total volume of these stores, which can be treated as pure incremental volume.

Planograms Optimization

Planogram’s Optimization
Asahi
  • Why?

    Revise display cooler planograms to provide space for new products while needing to increase average sales revenue from the cooling zone.

  • How?

    Design a minimum of 3 new planograms for product placement in coolers that are designed to reorganize the current display structure to achieve greater sales efficiency. The new planograms should be both evolutionary and revolutionary in nature compared to current solutions.

  • What?

    Equip your coolers with SMART SHELF® technology. Find out which new planograms are the most effective in terms of generating incremental volume. Remember that the available display space in coolers is a fixed size and requires a compromise approach to its efficient use.

Outcome & Conclusions
  • The placement structure of mainstream products located on the lowest shelves proved to be in line with the sales mix and did not require any adjustment. In contrast, the first two shelves of the cooler where novelty and high-profit products were displayed required significant adjustments to match the space occupied by each product with its actual sales volume.
  • Changing the coolers planogram in the first two shelves resulted in an increase in the value of revenue by more than 9%. However, the recommended solution was a more revolutionary approach, which proposed separating different product categories in two independent coolers. Such a solution requires capital expenditure but generates a solid double-digit increase in sales revenue.

Shopper Behavior

Shopper Behavior Analysis
Maspex
  • Why?

    Need to define where in a large-format store to locate an SIS display to achieve the greatest increase in sales volume.

  • How?

    Build a display “island” that allows you to display your entire product portfolio and test its volume effectiveness in a minimum of 3 selected in-store locations.

  • What?

    Equip your SIS display with SMART SHELF® technology and digital signage monitors along with an intelligent consumer marketing content trigger system. Find out which in-store locations and what type of consumer communications are most effective in terms of generating incremental volume.

Outcome & Conclusions
  • The more “traffic” location in the store, the percentage of potential shoppers and shoppers interacting with the product is the highest. Therefore, the location of the SIS display should be planned mainly in the entrance area or in the main aisle of the store. Location in the category section does not provide adequate incremental volume and sometimes also results in cannibalization of sales.  
  • The effectiveness of dynamically displayed content is almost 2 x higher than classic static messages. The percentage of shoppers who stopped at the display and interacted is more than 90% higher for dynamic messages.

Pay 4 Performance Agreements

Accounting For “Pay For Performance” Agreements
  • Why?

    Need to implement an automated and, at the same time, transparent process for settling “Pay For Performance” contracts with retail partners.

  • How?

    Build a tool (hardware & software) to measure real-time shelf inventory levels and critical situation alert reporting system.

  • What?

    Equip your displays with SMART SHELF® technology for comprehensive measurement of sales parameters including actual and average inventory of individual SKU’s on the shelves along with an automated process for reporting results against the provisions of specific P4P agreements.

Outcome & Conclusions
  • An effective tool for accounting for P4P merchandising agreements based on reliable data showing the change in shelf inventory over time, the timing of OOS, and the quality of enforcement of merchandising standards.
  • A “side effect” of the introduction of the system for tracking shelf inventory levels is a definite improvement in the level of OSA (on the shelf availability) and, consequently, sales revenues.

Promotion Evaluation

Promotion Evaluation
Rossmann
  • Why?

    Need to optimize the value of revenues and profits generated by promotional endcaps and stands.

  • How?

    Test the effectiveness of different planograms (homogeneous vs. heterogeneous) in different locations and different consumer communication configurations (static vs. dynamic).

  • What?

    Equip your promotional endcap with SMART SHELF® technology along with a system for automatically displaying consumer content on a digital signage monitor embedded horizontally in the stand topper. Measure the impact of the dynamic display of consumer marketing content, the location of the stand in different sections of the store and the type of planogram on category sales volume.

Outcome & Conclusions
  • Promotional stands enhanced “technologically” not only significantly increase the number of interactions of potential shoppers with the products on display, but also result in a double-digit increase in sales compared to displays with static communication.
  • Conduct a process of “SKU’s rationalization” so that the number of products displayed on a single shelf does not exceed three.
