Definitions

  • Product presentation within stores is vital to the marketing and selling of a product line. Manufacturers spend time designing and creating marketing labels for products for customer appeal. Disorganization on a shelf, however, may hinder such marketing tactics as customers may miss the intended marketing label for the product. For example, product containers stacked on shelves may fall over, their labels may be turned around, or disorganization of the product may be displeasing to the eye.
