Retail Audits
Retail audits confirm a store has executed a new planogram (POG) reset, display, endcap, in-store marketing (ISM) placement, or other changes.
Why are Reset and Revisions Audits important?
- On average, only 50% of new planogram sets are compliant and set on time. The percentage is worse when applied to secondary product locations such as promotional displays.
- Decisions for future POG resets could be made within the first four weeks of a product’s scheduled set date.
- Retailer reorder forecasts are modeled from the first few weeks of a product’s sales. A non-compliant set can create a self-fulfilling prophecy of failure.
Most popular tasks performed during an audit service:
Confirm the section being audited has been set.
Locate and install displays that have not been set.
Zone products to the retail planogram so they are organized and engaging.
Stock products from the backroom to the salesfloor to keep the shelves full.
Review shelf tag and POP materials placement for accuracy.
Take a photo of the area once the tasks are completed.
