Stock Audit
"Why is it not available for sale? "
After physical merchandising a stock audit of the fixture is completed to check Missing, Low and High stock levels. Items recorded are checked against the retailer’s computer system for issues that may result in stock not being made available at point of purchase.
Point of Sale
"About 70% of Brand decisions are made in-store. That is, you might not make the decision to buy breakfast cereal when you're in the store, it was probably on your list before you arrived, but you are likely to decide between Cheerios’ and Special K. "
All Supplier and retailer point of sale and merchandising equipment is checked, repaired or replaced during all merchandising visits to deliver a high standard of physical presentation.
