    Assortment

    Keep customers from looking elsewhere for their pet needs with a wide assortment of products. Nestlé Purina PetCare team share key tips for using data to develop the right assortment for your store.

    • Stock a better variety of products that your customers are already shopping for (for example, if your biggest seller is premium, stock a variety of sizes in premium).
    • Maintain a varied selection in all subcategories.
    • Reflect national trends in the category, like all-natural and meat as ingredient #1.
    • Vary assortment by life stages, from kitten or puppy to senior.

    Tips for Effective Product Placement
    1. Use your space efficiently. Add shelves and pusher racks, and move products into locations that make shopping easier.
    2. Maximize margin and trade-up opportunities. Lead with ultra-premium products, then premium, then value, etc. within all categories. Show the best product first, since shoppers who want that product will find it anyway.
    3. Boost single-basket sales by cross-merchandising. Use data trends to determine the best options for cross-merchandising. For example, Nestlé Purina’s data shows that wet cat food shoppers tend to buy more cat treats, so put cat treats next to wet cat food.
    4. Position profit-boosting items at eye level, on end-caps, or in POP kit displays.
