Congrats, the place looks great!
I'll throw out my $.02 culled from a few years' experience as an assistant manager at Walgreens. The shelves you have should have the ability to be set at an angle, which gives you more options and merchandising flexibility. This popped in my head while looking at your pics and noticed a shelf with what looks like rolled up BIAB bags in baskets. The baskets are a nice touch.I would think about setting that shelf at an angle, which gives the customer (looking down at it) a better view and plenty of physical space to grab one or more instead of reaching in, then down. There are SS wire-guards made for the purpose of preventing items on angled shelves from sliding off.
Another shelf-centric merchandising tip: Don't feel like the top shelf has to be at the very top that is possible. If the spacing is maxed out on all of the lower shelves, then you must use the top-most position. Failing that, lowering the shelf will make it accessible to more people and won't look odd.
General merchandising tips:
- Keep floor free of clutter (floor displays should be kept to a minimum and not impede foot traffic)
- Products should be easy to locate, easy to get to, and easy to purchase. If a customer has to ask you to get something they can't reach or see, that significantly decreases the likelihood of a purchase.
- Be diligent with "price tags". My biggest pet peeve with any store is displayed product without a price. Nine times out of ten I will not ask "how much?" and simply move on.
Congrats and best of luck!
