Merchandising: The Strategy
On many occasions we tend to encompass any technique, process or commercial system with the term "Marketing" we would not be completely wrong but if we want to focus on a certain part, we will have to proceed to call it by its name, in this case the sector that monopolizes the commercial techniques that make the product reach the final buyer to get its sale is called "Merchandising" and it includes all those techniques that make a simple normal product become the number one product in sales thanks to the processes and modifications to which their image, packaging, etc. are submitted
In the growing market so competitive in which we find ourselves, defining a good strategy of promotion and sale in our merchandising can make us see the light of the tunnel and get sales in those products that we have just brought to market. We recommend you to take into account all this information to apply to your products or services that, after all, are basically the objectives pursued by Merchandising:
Make a good presentation of your product, it is useless to expose it as is, highlight its features and offer it as what "inexplicably" your buyer needs.
If there is something that a buyer should not forget is the brand, it should remain in the mind for a long time, if a customer associates a product / service with your brand, you will have many chances that it will require your services again, we will call this purchase on impulse.
Highlighting the advantages of your product allows customers to know your strengths from the beginning without having to try it, so you can buy it knowing the benefits it brings. Accompany the virtues of your product with a great slogan that makes you remember and identify the brand in any situation that requires a similar product or service.
There are two types of merchandising, in the management merchandising various market studies are collected to know the status of the product as well as its current main suppliers and organizes, among other elements, the main and most recommended means of communication through which the promotion of the product should be promoted. product. In relation to these media, I highly recommend the ones you can see in the following videos:
On the other hand, presentation merchandising takes care of the details closest to the buyer as its presentation, location or image, factors that allow what we previously called compulsive buying.
In short, the creation of a sales and promotion strategy for our truly effective products or services must be governed by this type of concepts that offer both types of merchandising.
