Optics

You should divide your range into three sections:
1)products that create excitement through news, difference, specialism or premiumisation
eg: Morgans Spiced, Jamesons, Tequila, Sambucca, Smirnoff Black, Bombay Sapphire, Glenmorangie, Glenfiddich, Laphroig, Johnnie Walker, Black Label, Jagermeister
2)high volume core products that drive sales through strong consumer demand
eg: Southern Comfort, Jack Daniels, Bacardi, Smirnoff, Gordons Gin, Bells Whisky, Famous Grouse Whisky, Captain Morgan, Baileys, Courvoisier, Archers, Malibu, Pimm’s
3)products that you need to stock but don’t need to feature, consumers of these products will ask for them
eg: Martini Bianco, Cockburns Port, Tia Maria, Harveys Bristol Cream, Cinzano, Martini Bianco, Martini Rosso, Campari, Pernod, Cointeau, Disaronni Amaretto, Drambuie, Aftershock Red, Apple Sourz

  • Eye level is the buy level- you have 3 seconds to attract someone’s attention
  • If your optic display is too long, customers will become confused
  • If you take a line of optics 10 bottles long, the customer will focus on bottles 5 & 6 which are in the middle
  • The majority of customers will look left to right
  • In a display of 4 bottles, the one of the left will be strong but the right one will be the strongest- think about reading a book
  • Display 2 groups of bottles rather than a continuous line, remembering the strongest positions are at the end of the groups
  • Allocate space according to volume of sales
  • Colours play an important role in merchandising, the warmer the colour eg: red/ orange the greater degree of attraction
  • Give more space to more profitable items
  • Products in high demand need the least important position
