The NEXTTM System creates “product billboarding”- a wall of product that enhances category and brand awareness. This helps provide better rotation for time-sensitive products.

Case Study Southern Imperial worked with a major grocery chain to quantify the benefits of using the NEXT System. The following summarizes the reorganization of shelf-space usage and the resulting space optimization. •

We quantified the effectiveness of facing products with the NEXT® Merchandising Trays versus traditional shelving methods.

•

We manipulated product placement to facilitate product pack-out or to increase in the number of SKUs in each product category.

•

Increases were easily achieved by moving fully stocked trays rather than unloading and reloading product. download the white paper at www.nextmerchandising.com
