Merchandising

Mercury Retail Services excels at the many interconnected elements that support our retail partners’ objectives and maximize consumer sales.

In-store Merchandising
Our trained Mercury merchandisers are in-store continuously, visiting virtually every retail banner from one day up to seven days per week. They provide key merchandising services and support our retail partners with essential stock replenishment. Additional responsibilities include straightening racks, executing plan-o-gram instructions, and setting up corrugated displays and promotions for optimum results.

Stocking
The Mercury merchandising team moves newly delivered product from the receiving department to the front of store for shelf and display stocking, then creates returns and prepares them for return shipping at the back of the store.

Product Rotations
Efficient product rotation practice leads to less returned or discarded product for the retailer and a greater likelihood of overall profit. Mercury merchandisers are trained to be diligent in stock rotation during in-store visits so that more product is sold on time and moves off the shelf as new product comes in.

Plan-o-Gram Programs and Maintenance
Mercury Retail Services provides full plan-o-gram organizational services for our retail partners. We are experienced at creating plan-o-gram rack display plans and stickering on the racks to optimize space, sales, and profits. Our merchandisers are also adept at following plan-o-gram directives and surveying them for increased effectiveness.

Sticker/Sign Placement
Key placement of promotional signage can be highly effective in shortening product turn. Mercury merchandisers install promotional signs in-store as well as sticker product and racks for increased visibility and improved sales.

Seasonal Support
From summer to back-to-school to holidays, there are many important retail seasons throughout the year. Mercury supports retail partners by stocking product and helping merchandise it creatively and effectively before, during, and after each selling season.
