MERCHANDISING – SERVICES

The strategic art of attracting clients.

Thanks to INGROUP’s special methodology, merchandising successfully connects the product and the consumer, making sure products get optimum exposure both in and out of the store, resulting in more customers and sales.

Retail Merchandising.

At INGROUP we manage, develop, and train merchandising teams constantly in order to fill your permanent and temporary seasonal needs, inside and outside the stores (indoor / Pop up- visual merchandising) in every possible corner in Greece. Some of our main traits are speed, accuracy and trust in every single promotional activation we undertake.


Retail Merchandising is the whole process of promoting products in both permanent locations as well as in pop-up stores, and it is essential in order to reinforce the sales momentum of any business.


Merchandising practices train customers and boost customer buying behaviour, by creating the right store atmospherics for the end-consumer.


Everything that is seen inside and outside should create a positive image directly connected to the company and the product, resulting in winning the customers’ attention, interest, desire, and ultimately, their act of purchase.

Merchandising advantages.

The Merchandiser makes sure products are properly displayed in the store and uses all the available tools like POP materials, to accomplish objectives like brand awareness and sales increase.

It is important to prioritize merchandising activations because:

They promote your product,
making it even more attractive to the eyes of the consumer and making it much easier to sell

They provide a thorough product presentation,
that follows the newest trends for modern presentations

They help lower the costs,
which increases sales people’s performance and productivity

They apply the 3 D’s (Dominance-Display-Distribution), which are essential for sales

VISUAL MERCHANDISING - RETAIL SHELVING

To maximize space performance on the shelf, INGROUP’s Visual Merchandising expert team creates different shelving designs, depending on the sales and the communication strategy or campaign. Then:

We create an advanced 3D mock-up, which is a necessary tool for coordinating the designated teams within the company, and for the optimum shelf design of future stores or any needed adaptation with different measurements.

We combine the shelves’ standards with any displays and visual materials we need to use.

As a result, we don’t only keep our planograms’ deadlines but also implement them much faster.

INGROUP Merchandising Tools.

We have developed sophisticated systems, management, observation and evaluation tools, for POS, Sales and Merchandising. They provide real time information 24/7, in a highly secure digital environment.

 

Our clients have different needs so our approach is to listen first, then research and learn and evaluate their needs in depth so that we can propose the most ideal and holistic, collaboration model.
