Retail merchandisers manage products in stores to ensure a smooth shopping experience. They handle inventory, restock shelves, clean and organize displays, set up promotions, and rotate stock for freshness. They also manage deliveries and adapt layouts for seasonal changes, ensuring compliance with store standards. By collaborating with staff and assisting customers, merchandisers play a vital role in maintaining an appealing retail environment and driving sales.
Merchandising teams face mounting challenges: high turnover, outdated systems, communication gaps, and fierce competition for shelf space. Empty shelves, disorganized displays, and post-pandemic recovery struggles impact operations and customer satisfaction. Sustainability pressures add complexity, pushing teams to adapt. This video highlights these pressing issues and the resilience required to overcome them in today’s dynamic retail landscape.
