RETAIL TRENDS
What the shelf tells you
Range structure and merchandising reveal the competitive reality.
Shelf visits turn a market overview into a practical commercial picture. Record range structure, pack formats, claims, shelf prices and promotional mechanics. Visit more than one store type, because specialist retail and mass-market channels can play very different roles. Compare products on a consistent basis and keep observations separate from assumptions. The objective is not a photo library alone, but a clearer view of where your product could earn a place.
