18 © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.9 - 18 © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. ▶ Objective is to maximize profitability per square foot of floor space ▶ Sales and profitability vary directly with customer exposure

19 © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.9 - 19 © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 1. Locate high-draw items around the periphery of the store 2. Use prominent locations for high-impulse and high- margin items 3. Distribute power items to both sides of an aisle and disperse them to increase viewing of other items 4. Use end-aisle locations 5. Convey mission of store through careful positioning of lead-off department
