DISPLAY COMPLIANCE IN STORES
Normally on every new product launch or any promotional offers, every store manages to keep hold of the stocks of all their products on one hand, and on the other hand, they manage to keep an eye out for the quick-running products on the markets. Despite keeping your eyes peeled out towards every product on every aisle, the human eyes would still tend to lose count on the various aspects that make a product stand out, or even make them STOCK-OUT!
This is where the most important aspect of promotional deliverance kicks in — and that is Display Compliance. For those of you who don’t have the slightest idea of this feature, display compliance is a method used by the marketeers while they are planning for a massive promotional offer, launches, or quicken the sales of their; by using the means of various method of displays and messages.
Display Compliances boost some of the major companies’ promotional offers by 27%* more than the usually expected statistics, For the most part, displaying the best deals to the customers while they walk in is the main reason for them to take up the offer in the first place!
But here is the catch -
A survey** shows a clear disconnect between CPGs’ estimate of display compliance versus store reality. The survey audited 17 different promotional variants in 5,629 stores across the US, including CVS, Dollar General, Walmart, and Safeway. The audit captured about 112,000 data points to gain a complete picture of display execution.
This store-level analysis showed that 39% of displays were noncompliant with the plan, but CPGs assumed compliance rates of 72% or more! This pretty much shows the importance of how every basic promo or launch could’ve gotten a huge positive response if the very basic blueprint was set right. The only key to that is to keep a greater set of keys for the Store Level Data. Compliant displays saw a higher sales lift. End caps showed the highest rates of compliance, and the display type was majorly responsible for the highest sales lift, but the store-level data could’ve made a major revolt.
Many manufacturers have a big band of dedicated teams that are the analytic pillars, studying the impact of a handful of promotions. Yet statistics show that only 1 in 5 companies have the capability to measure their trade spending at the individual event level. A more recent Point of Interest report finds that the largest promotional percentage by a consumer goods company that was able to evaluate is about 40%.
The “crowd” as in the customers are most commonly intrigued to carry out survey-based offers, usually supplemented by store images and descriptivism. More sophisticated manufacturers tend to enable this consumer field force with image-recognition-based mobile apps that completely digitize the store and deliver richer data for analysis.
