In this, the Glossary’s fifth edition, you’ll find nearly 700 terms drawn from a variety of fields including Rproduct merchandising, consumer and trade promotion, digital marketing, e-commerce, display manufacturing, media advertising, research, packaging and retail design. The Path to Purchase Institute’s editors compile and write all the entries after fielding suggestions from the Institute’s brand, retailer, agency and vendor members. (RockTenn execs have recommended* many terms over the years. You should too.) In addition to this print version, the 2014 Glossary will be accessible on the Path to Purchase Institute’s websites at www.p2pi.org/glossary and www.shoppermarketingmag.com. It also will become part of the “Shopper Marketing Peter Breen App,” which can be downloaded at either www.apple.com/itunes or https://play.google.com/store. RockTenn supports initiatives like the Path to Purchase Glossary because we believe that education is foundational to all good customer relationships. That’s why we created the RockTenn Merchandising University. The curriculum is built around intensive, two-day sessions at our Winston-Salem, N.C., campus that offer brand and retail marketing executives a wealth of ideas that are ready for real-world implementation. Currently, we’re offering three tracks: n Merchandising Essentials, in which you’ll learn how to use the most effective, up-to-date techniques and processes. n The Retail Experience, in which you’ll discover how to align your customers’ needs with your shopper marketing programs. Tim Binder n Innovation Workshop, in which you’ll learn how to translate insights into P-O-P that stops shoppers and turns browsers into buyers. For a preview of RockTenn’s curriculum, please turn to the special “Quick Start Guide to Merchandising Essentials” inserted between pages 24-25 of this glossary. There’s also a “P-O-P Quiz” that I guarantee even veteran merchandising executives will find challenging. Enjoy the 2014 Glossary and, above all, learn from it.

  • Exploiting the Installed Base Using Cross-Merchandising and Category Destination Programs
    Exploiting the Installed Base Using Cross-Merchandising and Category Destination Programs Xavier Drèze* Stephen J. Hoch** Abstract We investigate two ways to increase sales and customer loyalty by taking advantage of a store’s installed base of current customers. We propose a classification of products into two types. Products of Type 1 are products for which consumers have a loyalty to a specific retailer and as far as possible always shop that retailer for these products. The other products (Type 2) are not associated with any retailer and are bought at whichever retailer consumers happen to shop when they plan or remember to buy the product. With this in mind, we test the potential of two marketing tools to help retailers increase their share of sales of the Type 2 segment. Using a category destination program we show that one can successfully transform Type 2 into Type 1 products. Using cross-merchandising promotions, we show that one can increase the sales of Type 2 products thereby getting a larger share of discretionary purchases than what one would receive from a straight random allocation. Both series of tests yielded significant increases in sales and profits and were deemed successful by the retailers who implemented them. * Xavier Drèze is Assistant Professor of Marketing at the Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California. ** Stephen J. Hoch is John J. Pomerantz Professor of Marketing at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. 2 Exploiting the Installed Base Using Cross-Merchandising and Category Destination Programs Food retailers in the U.S. and Europe face a hostile environment characterized by slow population growth and excess retail capacity.

  • How Merchandising and Layout of Ikea Influence the Consumer Behavior?
    HOW MERCHANDISING AND LAYOUT OF IKEA INFLUENCE THE CONSUMER BEHAVIOR? João Pedro Dias Soares Santos Project submitted as partial requirement for the conferral of Master in Management Supervisor: Prof. Susana Maria dos Santos Henriques Marques, Assistant Professor, Marketing, Operations and General Management Department September 2019 Resumo Esta tese é um projeto empresa focado nas áreas de marketing, merchandising e comportamento do consumidor adaptadas à Ikea. O comportamento do consumidor é estudado com muita frequência e abordado por muitas perspectivas devido à sua elevada importância. A estratégia e ferramentas de marketing utilizadas podem ter grande influência na imagem que o cliente tem da empresa, assim como a estratégia de comunicação visual definida é crucial para divulgar a mensagem. O foco principal deste estudo é analisar como o merchandising e o layout da loja influenciam o comportamento do cliente, especificamente nas lojas Ikea. Deste modo, é pertinente entender se o layout da loja e as caraterísticas de loja são adequados para um cliente cada vez mais exigente. Para entender as perceções dos consumidores, foram testados muitos aspetos da experiência de marketing e loja da Ikea. Após a análise dos resultados conclui-se que a Ikea tem uma presença de marketing bastante vincada para o consumidor e quase todas as variáveis da loja têm um efeito positivo no consumidor. Por fim, foram apresentadas algumas sugestões como: desenvolver a conexão digital com o consumidor; A segunda recomendação consiste numa alteração no design da loja: nesta ótica pretende-se atender à necessidade da criação de um caminho mais curto e prático para visitar a loja; A terceira recomendação consiste na elaboração de showrooms virtuais nas lojas, dando a oportunidade de armazenar mais material; A quarta recomendação é a execução de produtos de classe premium e ainda elaboração de uma classe de produtos personalizada.

  • Module 1: the Importance of Merchandising
    Module 1: The Importance of Merchandising Merchandising, or how products are displayed in the store, plays a critical role in the overall success of your business. After all, when customers come into your store, you want them to buy. Effective merchandising is a tool that gets them closer to that purchase decision. But having effective merchandising demands discipline and planning. It’s hard work. You must pay attention to detail on a daily basis. You also must realize that many of your competitors have effective merchandising. That means your customers are used to seeing it, so they expect it from you, too. In this course, we’ll discuss the techniques and best practices that make up an effective merchandising strategy. We’ll begin by talking about why merchandising is so important. Merchandising makes several important contributions to your store. It increases sales by making a store appealing to your customers. It improves profitability by generating more margin dollars. It controls costs by improving the productivity of the salesfloor as well as each employee. Appeals to Customers • Good merchandising makes shopping easier for customers and gives them reasons to come back often and spend more money. Remember that many consumers may not consider shopping fun. A merchandiser’s goal is to take the hassle out of shopping and make it easier. • Good merchandising can also create customer loyalty. Consumers shop where they feel certain they can find the merchandise they want. They will be loyal to your store if you can create a pleasing shopping experience and provide what they need.

  • Merchandising Trends Achieving Differentiation with a Shopper-Centric Approach
    Merchandising Trends Achieving Differentiation with a Shopper-Centric Approach JANUARY 2011 03 Executive Summary 04 Introduction 05 Merchandising Activity 13 Merchandising Effectiveness 15 Merchandising Tactics 17 Trends to Watch 19 Conclusions 21 Resources 1 Merchandising Trends: Achieving Differentiation with a Shopper-Centric Approach Creative Merchandising Critical to CPG and Retail Success in 2011 The new year creates an opportunity to review product and retail strategies with a view toward continuous improvement. Nowhere is this more relevant or important than in merchandising strategies. While experts are still writing their post mortems on the 2010 holiday season, it is clear that consumer spending exhibited a strength not seen since 2006. What remains to be determined, however, is whether the holidays represented a one time splurge from shoppers with “frugal fatigue” or a genuine uptick in attitudes and behaviors that will carry over into the new year. It is also unclear whether gift purchasing activity will translate into increased sales of traditional consumer packaged goods, such as grocery, health or beauty aid items. SymphonyIRI anticipates shoppers will remain conservative in their purchasing habits, but evolve their definition of “value” slowly away from the almost singular focus on price that has shaped behavior for the past three years. The new focus will be one that integrates other factors, such as ingredients to support increased health & wellness, packaging and convenience. The challenges for those leading merchandising efforts are multifold. They must determine which shopper segments are motivated by which types of merchandising activities, typically a combination of price, feature and display activities. Within each segment, they must gauge which products generate the greatest sales volume lift from each type of support.
