Future-proofing your Fixture

The Vape category is evolving rapidly!

To stay ahead of consumer trends, adapt to changing legislation, and embrace new technologies, retailers must offer a diverse and innovative product range.

This approach is essential for remaining competitive and maximising sales. Retailers should allocate fixture space to new product development (NPD) and emerging categories like 'Legal Big Puff' devices, Pod Systems, Nic Salts and Nicotine Pouches, while also maintaining a strong presence for leading Disposable brands and products.

What is a planogram?

A planogram is a schematic tool used to plan a retail store layout. Planograms place special attention on product placement and displays, as well as point-of-sale locations.

Also called POGs, shelf space plans, space plans, and retail schematics, planograms comprise a larger, more comprehensive visual merchandising plan. They typically provide a blueprint for visual merchandising and product displays and ultimately help with inventory management.

Fixtures and fittings with mutually agreed planogram ranges give you a total category solution in either a countertop or back wall behind the till unit.

How you set up your store is vital for your success. However, planning and using this space effectively can be difficult. You need to think about how customers move through the store, how products are displayed, where you store extra items, and how your checkout area is arranged. All these elements must be carefully considered when designing and organising your vape shop.
