The Benefits of Using Planograms
A planogram (sometimes referred to as a POG) is a detailed schematic or model used to plan store layouts, merchandise displays, and product placements. A planogram will guide the customer through an efficient shopping path that encourages sales with strategically placed shelving and product arrangements.
A planogram can provide the following advantages:
- Drive sales with optimal product placement
- Maximize shelf space between multiple vendors
- Optimize foot traffic and walking order of customers
- Improve restocking efficiency
- Organize and deploy more effective store promotions
These benefits make planograms a clear necessity for any retail store or retail pharmacy operation.
