It is not an accident that the best retailers have the best-selling items in the most accessible places for consumers to purchase them. The art of placing popular items where consumers will easily find them is called space planning -- the scientific art of squeezing the most value out of every square inch of retail display.


Space planning determines where, and how, to place merchandise within a store to increase sales and can be used to adjust the visibility, appearance, and presence of products to make them appear more desirable or to ensure sufficient inventory levels on the shelf or display.

 Micro space takes planning down to the SKU level and where the specific item should be put on the shelf. Micro space analyses determine how many facings there should be and what the required depth and height of the products are for the shelf
