How to Drive Visual Merchandising & Planogram Compliance

As a retailer, telling a visual story that invites shoppers into your store and engages them throughout their shopping experience is as important as excellent customer service.

(This blog is part one of a three-part series on Retail Operations Management)

Visual merchandising and planograms are at the heart of how you tell your brand’s visual story. New campaigns, promotions and displays are carefully thought-out to showcase products, speak to your customers and facilitate sales. But, ensuring your and your suppliers’ visions are brought to life across all of your stores isn’t easy when you have multiple locations spread across a wide geographic region. 

IntouchCheck inspection software is a perfect solution for both retail audits  and supplying teams with easy visual merchandising guides and checklists, to empower teams to build each display exactly how you envision it.

With IntouchCheck you can schedule and create unlimited merchandising checklists for any upcoming campaigns, and attach planograms and guidelines to give teams the tools they need to succeed. Launching campaigns without a hitch is easy...

1. Create and schedule checklists for any upcoming campaign or promotion with IntouchCheck.

2. Attach planograms and detailed guidelines to demonstrate the correct set up to teams.


3. Require teams to upload photos of displays to verify it meets brand standards, and annotate photos to call out problems clearly.

4. Automatically notify managers when a check has been completed, and attach a full report of the check in a PDF.

    

By sharing visual merchandising guides and planograms and giving employees the tools to share photos, questions and complete checks, you can drive accountability and visibility into your retail execution and get better control over  brand experience across your retail stores.
