Your staff knows where and how to replenish merchandise.

If you are a retailer who does not use planograms then make this your New Year’s resolution! They show you exactly how they want a wall, for instance, to be merchandised. Sometimes they are even provided to the retailer by the vendor. They can be done by a hand-sketch or with a software program (the most common, nowadays). It’s the diagram or layout of the selling floor. Planograms are a visual tool retailers use to show in detail where everything will go. EVERY visual merchandiser should know what planograms are and how important they are in our line of work. I’ve been feeling incredibly guilty and foolish for not covering this topic in-depth in class. Planograms – learn this term! I’ve been wanting to do a post on planograms for a long time now, but for some reason it kept slipping my mind.
