Unified’s Merchandising Services Department offers strategic merchandising plan development for retail center store. Merchandising specialists in Grocery, GM/HBC, Frozen Food, Grocery Deli and Dairy can help each store with their specific needs. We work with retailers to design a commodity layout based on the unique demographics of each store in terms of format and traffic flow. The commodity layout helps retailers maximize their space to create the greatest ROI. Using schematic, scan and market data, each category is analyzed to insure that the store is carrying the proper SKU mix based on available space. Once the planning stage is complete, merchandising specialists work with retailers to coordinate the plan’s implementation and ensure minimal disruption to retail sales activities.

Unified's team of merchandising coordinators work closely with store owners to help them determine their customers' shopping patterns and create a commodity layout to match the store’s merchandising strategy. By using comprehensive reports generated from front end scan and purchase information they are able to maximize space-to-sales for the greatest return on investment.
