Data-Driven Design Development to Optimize Impulse Sales

Checkout merchandising is especially tricky and the right design can make or break category and brand success.  Often a custom merchandising piece, checkout fixtures need to not only reflect what shoppers want today – across all impulse categories and transaction points – but also needs to be flexible to adapt to changes in consumer demand.   As well, designs need to address differing transaction types – from cashiered lanes to self-checkout to click and collect solutions – to capture that profitable impulse purchase.

IMC is an expert in designing complex, cross category merchandising.  We understand the merchandising nuances of each category and pay point – how category allocation, location, and assortment make a huge difference in not only how shoppers shop and respond to merchandising but how easy it is to stock and maintain at store level.   We use our industry insights and expertise to help your company create a design plan that both enhances the shopping experience while being practical and cost effective.
