STORE LEVEL EXAMPLE• How easily can shoppers find the
categories that they are looking for?
• Based on what logic are the categories placed inside the store?
• Is there a link between the shopper flow and the floor plan design? Is it a positive or negative link?
• How will the above change as we move from a hypermarket to a convenience store or from city center to suburbs?

WHAT IS A PLANOGRAM?
• Display: It’s a way of displaying the arrangement of a product collection in a
store, a store typology or a retailer
• Position & Facings: It indicates the position of every product in the shelf, as
well as the number of facings per product
• Realism: There are required exact dimensions of the shelves and the
products so as the representation to be 100% realistic
• Data: It may include qualitative and financial data for further analysis and
valuation of the current and the expected results
• Collaboration: It contributes to the bargaining between the retailers and the
suppliers

LETS SEE AN EXAMPLE
• Shoppers = Consumers:– Coffee: Since each person has its own criteria regarding coffee
the shopper will be influenced according to his own priorities:– Flavour– Price– Promotion
• Shoppers ≠ Consumers:– Baby food: Parents who are the shoppers of the category will
be influenced mainly by their doctor recommendation & the specific product attributes e.g. vitamins rather than price, promotion or package.

WHAT IS A CATEGORY BLUEPRINT?
• It is a reflection of the
decision tree into the category
• Shows how each segment and
SKU should be merchandised
• Highlights their importance
and aligns their placement
based on the category
objectives and strategies
• More than one blueprint can
be produced according to
different product
assortments, store
formats, regions

• Test stores:
There should be sufficient number of test stores to produce robust
conclusions
Since trial stores are frequently chosen based upon relationships with
stores or store managers, it is crucial to ensure that these trial stores are
representative.
Where possible, rotate trial stores, so that consumers do not become
immune, or aware of their existence
• Support: depending on scale of changes, trial stores may require field-based
support to ensure that the plan is successfully implemented
• Checkpoints: pot checks will be useful to help determine the level of
compliance

SUMMARY
Space management can improve your in store environment which is one
of the touch points between shoppers, retailers and manufacturers.
It can help you maximize your brand and category performance through
a shopper centric approach.
Planograms are more than a display of products. They are databases that
contain all the necessary information and KPIs about the category.
Analyze the current situation in order to identify the opportunities and
threats
Use your proposals in order to address them and further develop the
category performance.
Always evaluate your plans and use both positive and negative findings
for future reference.
